Medicare Part B premium starts at $174.70 per month for 2024 and could increase according to your household earning in 2023.

If you have waited and had credible coverage past your 65th birthday then you would need to enroll in Part A when first eligible and Part B prior to enrolling onto a Medicare Plan.
