Starting Medicare…Why Is Part B Costing $578?
Toni:
My Medicare begins June 1st and I have received my first bill which is $578.40 with the premium due by May 25th. I do not see this Medicare cost anywhere on the Medicare site or in any information I received when I came into the Toni Says office for my Medicare consultation. Am I being charged the Medicare Part B penalty? I signed up before I turned 65. What is wrong?
I am not starting my Social Security check until I turn 66 which is my full retirement age, so I must pay this myself to Social Security. Is there a way I can pay the Medicare Part B premium monthly instead of the whole amount? Look forward to what your thoughts are?
