Part A premiumMost people don't pay a monthly premium for Part A (sometimes called "premium-free Part A"). If you buy Part A, you'll pay up to $413 each month. If you paid Medicare taxes for less than 30 quarters, the standard Part A premium is $413. If you paid Medicare taxes for 30-39 quarters, the standard Part A premium is $227.Part B premiumThe standard Part B premium amount is $134 (or higher depending on your income). However, most people who get Social Security benefits will pay less than this amount ($109 on average).
The Medicare premium of $134 is usually automatically deducted from your Social Security check every month. If you want a Medicare part C or part D plan too, you will have to pay for that yourself and the amount will depend on the insurance company and the plan you select.
