Medicare Part D Costs
Part D costs will vary by plan, and your monthly premium will be determined by your income. The average monthly premium is $33 in 2022, but this amount can be higher if your income is above a certain amount. This higher amount is known as the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA).
The higher amount you pay will be determined on what you filed on your taxes from two years ago.
Some Part D plans will also have a yearly deductible, while other Part D plans will have no deductible. If there is a deductible, it cannot be over $480.
