Part A (hospital insurance) costs and cost-sharing may also rise slightly, especially for the minority who pay Part A premiums.

💡 What you can do:
- Review your current Medicare plan during the Open Enrollment Period (Oct. 15 – Dec. 7).
- If you’re on Original Medicare, compare Medicare Advantage or Medigap plans to see if they mitigate increases.
- Budget ahead for higher monthly costs in 2026.
