Why Is My Part B Medicare Premium Higher Than My Husband's?

My husband and I file a joint return. His part B payment is $366.10, and mine is $544.30. Why the discrepancy? My check decreased by $103. Per month ,and his went down $23. Thank you.



Hi. I can't explain the discrepancy in your premium rates. It's possible that an error was made, so you may want to either call Social Security for an explanation or request an appeal: https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencies/omha/the-appeals-process/part-b-premium-appeals/index.html,
