Medicare costs in Uintah County depend on your coverage choice, income level, health status, and prescriptions. Here is a comprehensive breakdown for 2026.

Original Medicare Costs

Part A: Premium-free for most (40+ quarters of work history). Hospital deductible: $1,676 per benefit period. Days 61–90: $419/day coinsurance. Skilled nursing days 21–100: $209.50/day. Part B: Standard premium: $185/month. Annual deductible: $257. After deductible: 20% coinsurance with no cap. No maximum out-of-pocket limit — this is why supplemental coverage is essential.

Medicare Advantage Costs in the Uintah Basin

Medicare Advantage premiums: $0 to $50+/month (many $0 options). Primary care copay: typically $0–$20. Specialist copay: typically $25–$50. Hospital admission: $200–$400/day for first few days. Maximum out-of-pocket: $4,000–$9,350/year depending on plan. Drug coverage included in most plans.

Medigap Costs in Utah

Plan G: approximately $120–$180/month (age 65, non-smoker). Plan N: approximately $80–$140/month. After paying the $257 Part B deductible (Plan G) or small copays (Plan N), out-of-pocket costs are essentially zero for Medicare-covered services. You must add a separate Part D plan ($7–$80/month).

Part D Prescription Drug Costs

Premiums: $7–$80+/month. Deductible: $0–$590 (many plans have no deductible). Out-of-pocket cap: $2,000/year (new for 2026). Insulin: capped at $35/month. Specific drug costs vary dramatically by plan and pharmacy.

Income-Related Adjustments (IRMAA)

If your modified adjusted gross income exceeds $106,000 (individual) or $212,000 (married filing jointly), you pay higher Part B and Part D premiums. This surcharge, called IRMAA, is based on tax returns from two years ago.

Extra Help for Low-Income Beneficiaries

Uintah County residents with limited income and resources may qualify for Extra Help, reducing Part D costs to near zero, or Medicaid (QMB, SLMB, QI programs) which can pay Part B premiums and cost-sharing.
