Now, all eyes turn to the fall, when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) officially releases the upcoming figures for standard Part B premiums, as well as the Part A and Part B deductibles.

According to Fidelity, a 65-year-old retiring in 2026 can expect to spend an average of $185,500 on healthcare and medical expenses throughout retirement. That's an increase of 7% or $13,000 over the 2025 estimate.
