Minnesota seniors face largest jump in Medicare Part B premiums in a decade

Monthly payments for Part B will increase by more than 14%, putting a significant dent in cost-of-living increases in Social Security payments

Minnesota seniors are facing a sharp increase in monthly premiums next year for the Part B portion of their Medicare health insurance benefits.

The federal government announced Friday that monthly costs would increase from $148.50 this year to $170.10 in 2022. That jump of $21.60 per month, or more than 14%, greatly exceeds a typical year's increase, state officials say.

Minnesota has about 1.1million Medicare beneficiaries, and the vast majority of them pay premiums for Part B, which covers a wide variety of outpatient medical needs including physician services.
