2015 Medicare Rates Medicare Part B rates remain the same this year at a base of $104.90.* Medicare Part D (prescription plans) change every year.* You must turn in a 2015 benefit statement showing your new monthly premiums. Some individuals who have not turned in current information may be reimbursed less than the base amount for Part B. Some individuals are getting overpaid because their Part D is less than it was last year.
