Part A premiums
The component of Medicare called Part A mainly covers hospital stays and impatient care. However, Part B covers services not only in outpatient facilities but also in physician offices. The vast majority of people don’t even have to pay a monthly premium for Part A coverage, just as long as they or their partner paid Medicare payroll taxes throughout their working years.
As a general rule, you have to work and pay your taxes for a minimum of 10 years to avoid paying Part A premiums. Premium-free Part A is also available for you if you qualify for it before the age of 65.
