If you are hospitalized, the Medicare Part A deductible will be higher in 2023.
In 2022, the deductible was $1556. In 2023, the deductible will be $1600 — a $44 increase.
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing, hospice, inpatient rehabilitation, and some home health care services. About 99 percent of Medicare beneficiaries do not have a Part A premium since they had at least 40 quarters of Medicare-covered employment.
