The numbers
The Part D figures are final: CMS set them in April. The Part B premium and deductible are projections from the Medicare Trustees Report until CMS announces the real numbers in November. A number marked projected is an estimate, not a promise.
| Figure | 2026 (final) | 2027 | Status and source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part D standard deductible (max) | $615 | $700 | Final. CMS CY2027 Rate Announcement, April 6, 2026. |
| Part D out-of-pocket cap | $2,100 | $2,400 | Final. CMS CY2027 Rate Announcement, April 6, 2026. Once you hit the cap, you pay $0 for covered drugs the rest of the year. |
| Part B standard premium | $202.90 / month | ~$209.50 / month | Projection. 2026 Medicare Trustees Report. CMS announces the final figure in November. |
| Part B annual deductible | $283 | ~$292 | Projection. 2026 Medicare Trustees Report. Not final until CMS announces in November. |
| Part A hospital deductible | $1,736 | Not yet announced | CMS announces the 2027 figure in the fall, usually with the Part B numbers. Part A has no monthly premium for most people. |
| Medicare Advantage average premium | See note | ~$12 / month | CMS projection, September 28, 2026. National average; your plan's actual premium is what matters. |
