While it’s not often we get to talk about rate decreases, Medicare beneficiaries will see a decrease in their Part B premium for 2023. Beneficiaries may remember the 2022 premium increase of 14.5% increase last year, primarily due to expected spending trends due to COVID-19 & a newly released Alzheimer’s medication, Aduhelm.
