2010 MEDICARE PREMIUMS: 

        Part A => Most individuals are entitled to "premium-free" Part A based on their or their spouse's work history.  Other individuals may be eligible to purchase Part A benefits at $461 per month if they have fewer than 30 quarters of Social Security coverage, or $254 per month if they have 30 - 39 quarters of Social Security coverage.   (EXCEPTIONS)

        Part B => The regular Part B premium will be $110.50/Month ($96.40 for most people who are continuing to pay from 2009), if your income is at or below $85,000 for an individual or $170,000 for a couple.  Higher premiums will be charged for incomes above these levels.
