Paying for Medicare
Paying for Medicare premiums is simple but it is important to understand what you are paying for and to whom.
- Part A usually free.
- Part B paid directly to the Federal Government.
- Part C also known as Medicare Advantage; not all plans have premiums but if they do, the premium is paid to the health plan.
- Part D also known as Prescription Drug Coverage; your prescription drug coverage may be included in your Part C (Medicare Advantage) plan.
How to Pay Your Medicare Part B Premium
You have two options for paying your Medicare Part B premium:
- You can have your Medicare Part B premium automatically deducted from your Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits check each month.
Or
- You can pay your Medicare Part B premium directly to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). To learn more about making Part B premium payments visit medicare.gov/your-medicare-costs. (By clicking on this link you will be leaving the Wellcare By Allwell website.)
