Average MA premiums in the U.S. 2010-2021, by part

In 2021, the average weighted Medicare Advantage (MA) monthly premium in the U.S. was 21 U.S. dollars, including nine dollars for Part C (medical and hospital care) and 12 dollars for Part D (drug benefit). This has decreased in the last 10 years by roughly 40 percent. Over half of MA plans have no premiums. It should be noted that all Medicare beneficiaries (whether in a traditional or MA plan) must also pay the Part B premium, which costs 148.5 U.S. dollars per month in 2021. This statistic depicts the average weighted Medicare Advantage monthly premiums from 2010 to 2021, by part (in U.S. dollars).
