What are the IRMAA Brackets for 2025 Medicare Part B?

Understanding Medicare Part B and IRMAA

Medicare Part B covers doctor visits, outpatient care, and some other medical services. The standard monthly premium for Part B is the same for everyone, but higher-income beneficiaries pay more through a process called Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). IRMAA brackets are adjusted annually based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from two years prior. This means the 2025 IRMAA brackets are based on your 2023 tax return.

2025 Medicare Part B IRMAA Brackets (Estimated)

Unfortunately, the official 2025 IRMAA brackets aren't released until late in the year (typically October or November). The information below represents projected brackets based on past trends and inflation. These are estimates only and should not be considered final. Always check the official CMS website for the most up-to-date information closer to the start of the year.

Important Considerations:

• These are estimates: The actual figures will be released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) later in the year. Check the official CMS website for confirmation.
• Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI): This is not your taxable income. MAGI includes certain items not included in taxable income, so it might be higher. Consult your tax return or a tax professional for your accurate MAGI.
• Filing Status: Your filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.) significantly impacts your IRMAA.
• Appeals Process: If you believe your IRMAA assessment is incorrect, you can appeal the decision. The CMS website provides information on how to do this.
• Life Changes: Significant life changes, such as marriage, divorce, or a spouse's death, can affect your IRMAA. Notify Social Security or Medicare of any changes.

Where to Find the Official 2025 IRMAA Brackets:

The most reliable source for the official 2025 Medicare Part B IRMAA brackets is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) website. Visit their site in late October or November to find the updated information. You can also contact Social Security directly for assistance.
