NOTE: . . . = not applicable. | ||||||||||
a. The deductible and coinsurance amounts begin in January unless otherwise noted. The monthly premium amounts were effective in July through 1983 and in January for 1984 and succeeding years. | ||||||||||
b. Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) is composed of Medicare Part B and , beginning in 2004, Medicare Part D. However, for the years shown, the Part D program is in a transitional stage, with premiums and deductibles not applicable until 2006. | ||||||||||
c. Standard premium rate paid for voluntary enrollment by certain aged and disabled individuals not otherwise entitled to Hospital Insurance (HI). (Most individuals aged 65 and older and many disabled individuals under age 65 are insured for HI benefits without payment of any premium.) In certain cases, a surcharge applies for those beneficiaries who enroll after their initial enrollment period. | ||||||||||
d. Most (but not all) services under Part B are subject to the annual deductible amounts and coinsurance percentages shown. (Original sources of authority, such as the laws, regulations, and rulings for Part B, should be consulted if specific details are required.) | ||||||||||
e. Standard premium rate paid by most Part B enrollees. However, two provisions alter the premium rate for certain Part B enrollees. First, in most cases, there is a surcharge for those beneficiaries who enroll after their initial enrollment period. Second, a "hold-harmless" provision lowers the premium rate for certain individuals who have their premium deducted from their Social Security check. On an individual basis, this provision limits the dollar increase in the Part B premium to the dollar increase in the individual's Social Security check. As a result, the person affected pays a lower Part B premium, and the net amount of the individual's Social Security check does not decrease, despite the greater increase in the premium. (A third premium-altering provision is scheduled to take effect in 2007.) | ||||||||||
f. Beginning in July 1973 for the disabled. | ||||||||||
g. Benefit not provided. | ||||||||||
h. Professional inpatient services of pathologists and radiologists not subject to deductible or coinsurance, beginning in April 1968. | ||||||||||
i. Beginning in April 1968. | ||||||||||
j. Home health services not subject to coinsurance, beginning in January 1973. | ||||||||||
k. Monthly premium for July and August 1973 was reduced to $5.80 and $6.10, respectively, by the Cost of Living Council. | ||||||||||
l. Home health services not subject to deductible. | ||||||||||
m. Professional inpatient services of pathologists and radiologists not subject to deductible or coinsurance, beginning in April 1968, but only when physician accepts assignment. | ||||||||||
n. Effective October 1, 1982, professional inpatient services of pathologists and radiologists are subject to deductible and coinsurance. | ||||||||||
o. Unlike all other years, the 1989 deductible was applied on an annual, rather than a benefit period, basis. Once the deductible was paid by the beneficiary, Medicare paid the balance of expenses for covered hospital services, regardless of the number of days of hospitalization (except for psychiatric hospital care, which was still limited by the 190-day lifetime maximum). | ||||||||||
p. The coinsurance amount in 1989 was equal to 20 percent of the estimated national average daily cost of covered skilled nursing facility care, rather than 1/8 of the inpatient hospital deductible. The beneficiary paid the coinsurance amount for the first 8 days of care in 1989, rather than for days of care 21 to 100 in a benefit period as in all other years. Skilled nursing facility benefits were available for up to 150 days of care per year in 1989, rather than for up to 100 days of care per benefit period as in all other years. | ||||||||||
q. Includes the standard monthly Part B premium and a supplemental monthly flat premium under the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988. Amount shown is for most Part B enrollees. Residents of Puerto Rico and other territories and commonwealths, as well as persons enrolled in Part B only, paid different supplemental flat premiums, resulting in a smaller premium than that shown. | ||||||||||
r. A reduced premium is available to individuals aged 65 or older who are not otherwise entitled to HI but who have (or who were married to, widowed, or divorced from a spouse for certain periods of time who has or had) at least 30 quarters of Social Security coverage. The reduced premium is $184, $183, $188, $187, $170, $170, $166, $165, $175, $174, $189, and $206 for 1994 to 2005, respectively. | ||||||||||

a. Section 1905(b) of the Social Security Act (the Act) specifies the method to be used to compute the federal medical assistance percentage. From this section the following formula is derived: N = 3-year average national per capita personal income; S = 3-year average state per capita personal income. Federal medical assistance percentage: State share = (S2/N2) × 45 or (45/N2) × S2; Federal share = 100 − state share with 50–83 percent limits. | |||||
b. This is the Title XXI enhanced federal medical assistance percentage rate specified in section 2105(b) of the Act. The enhanced federal medical assistance percentage is limited to no more than 85 percent. | |||||
