Many higher-income seniors would pay less for Medicare Part B premiums starting in 2027.
This bill would change how much higher-income Medicare Part B beneficiaries pay for their premiums. Starting in 2027, the income levels that trigger higher premiums would be significantly raised. This means many people who currently pay more due to their income would either pay less or no longer pay an extra amount.
Today, an individual with a modified adjusted gross income above $85,000 pays an extra amount for Medicare Part B premiums. After this bill, the $85,000 threshold would remain through 2026. However, starting in 2027, an individual would only begin paying an extra amount if their income is above $171,000, and new income tiers with specific percentages would apply for those earning more.
