What does a Part D Drug Plan Cost?

There’s a large deductible for each hospital admission. $1500 or so. You’re welcome.

If I receive the spousal benefit from Social Security am I automatically enrolled in Medicare?

Can someone on plan N flip flop to plan G without medical underwriting - or some kind of penalty?

Yeah but you give illegals medicines free!

FINALLY,a clear explanation and verification of what I have been trying to find out. Thank you for putting it to rest and making it clear!!!!! I still get multiple calls every day asking if I "got my free Flex card."

I live in Georgia and I was told I didn’t have to Medicaid to apply for the QI Medicare savings program. Maybe someone could give me some information. I’d appreciate any help you can give me.

How should I sign up for Medicare? I am 77 years old, arrived in America in 2016 (refugee) and receive SSI. I am an American citizen now. What form do I need to fill out to get Medicare?

How do I find out if I qualify for assistance for my Medicare premium?

At the top of the Extra Help application it says if you have Medicare and Medicaid DO NOT complete the application as you will be automatically enrolled. My Disabled Adult Son (DAC) - receives Social Security DAC benefits based on my work credit history (a type of SSDI) and is already on Maryland state Medicaid (healthcare & waiver program) and is becoming eligible for Medicare on June 1, 2024 after the 24 month SSDI wait period. When he was mailed the Medicare Part A & B card recently he also received from Social Security the application for Extra Help. So I am confused as to whether he has to apply for Extra Help or not, and if he does get automatically enrolled, shouldn't he receive a letter about that? If he does need to fill out the application, does his Maryland ABLE account (a special savings account to protect government benefits for the disabled) get listed as a resource or not? Thanks

I'm a Federal Employee covered by FEHB and age 64, I will work till age 67. I am also a dual citizen of the US and Switzerland. At retirement I will move permanently to Switzerland and Medicare will be of no use to me. My plan is to sign up for Medicare Part A soon (as required) and forego Part B after I've retired. In the time between start of retirement and actual move to Switzerland, about 1 year, I will keep my FEHB coverage along with my Medicare Part A. I understand the potential cost increases (10% per year) if I decide to stay in the US but sign up for Medicare Part B outside the enrollment period. My concern is, if at retirement I sign up for Medicare Part B, and then a year or so later move to Switzerland, it will be difficult to stop Medicare Part B premiums from being taken out of my Federal pension (FERS). I would be interested in you opinion. Thank you.

I just completed my application today. I'm hoping it will be accepted. If I decide to pay it quarterly or monthly, can you tell me if there is an auto pay option and if there's any fees SSA charges for any of the options chosen as in credit card or any other option? I look forward to a response and thank you in advance.

Hmm thought I posted this guess not, please correct or confirm the following. I need to delay my part B as I am on my spouse's plan till she retires. I have everything ready to apply for Part A and NOT enroll in Medicare Part B. I entered under Group Health Plan my wife's start date for Group health (employment) plan and my start date under that plan (health insurance coverage). Under remarks I re stated my intentions. I believe that when my wife's health plan terminates I have 8 months to start another application enrolling in part B with cms (40B, L564) as attachments. This will allow me to start Part B with no penalties and defer paying for part B. Sorry for the confusion .. I just want to get this right.

Do you get a flex card through your insurance company

Hello, great video. I am trying to gift my homeless parents a house and my parents get Texas Medicaid QMB and medicare. What should be the maximum house value in Texas so they do not lose their QMB benefits ? Also does Medicaid estate recovery program try to seize the house of deceased QMB recipients who never lived in any nursing home or any other long term living facility ? Thanks

If I get DAC benefits and I have medicaid, will I have to pay part b premiums?

I have medicaid, and am collecting social security already. I will be turning 65 in June 2024. When do I apply for extra help? Do I wait till after my birthday?

I got my Social Security benefit at the age of 62. But Bever applied for Madicare at the age of 65. Now I am 70 years old and will be 71 soon. I would like to know... 1) If I have to pay a penalty for not getting Medicare insurance at 65! And if so, how much will it be? . 2) What will be the best time to apply for Madicare Insurance?

Great content, succinctly presented.
