Understanding Medicare Costs in St. Augustine
Medicare costs in St. Augustine include several components: the Part B premium (standard $202.90/month in 2026, higher for higher-income beneficiaries), plan premiums (which can be $0 for Medicare Advantage or $100–$200+ for Medigap), deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Understanding your total annual cost — not just the monthly premium — is essential for choosing the right plan.
Medicare Advantage plans in St. Augustine often advertise $0 premiums, but you still pay the Part B premium plus any copays and coinsurance when you use services. The out-of-pocket maximum caps your annual exposure — but it can be $3,000–$8,000+ depending on the plan. William calculates your estimated total annual cost based on your typical health usage.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans in St. Augustine have higher monthly premiums ($100–$200+ for Plan G) but cover most out-of-pocket costs. For seniors with frequent medical needs, Medigap often results in lower total annual costs than Medicare Advantage — despite the higher premium.
Part D drug costs in St. Augustine vary significantly by plan and by your specific medications. The 2025 $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap provides important protection for high drug users. William calculates your total annual drug cost for every available Part D plan in your ZIP code.
