Summary of Medicare Benefits and Cost-Sharing for 2023

The chart below is a comprehensive list of Medicare Part A and B costs, including premiums, deductibles and coinsurance. Medicare supplemental insurance, known as Medigap, can help cover some of the gaps in coverage and pay for part or all of Medicare’s coinsurance and deductibles, depending on the policy. Some Medicare Advantage (MA) plans may also help cover these costs. See Medigap: Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Medicare Advantage for more information.
