I've had to read through many health plans while working to make a decision. By far, nothing is anywhere near as complicated as they made Medicare.

[@janetharris9291]

Medicare advantage is in my opinion better. I have a florida blue Medicare HMO. You have to make sure you see in network drs and facilities. But it saves you money. Zero copay to see my PCP. Specialist copay is $15. Surgical facility copa $65. Inpatient copay $150 a day for the first 5 days. Then 100%. No deductibles. Most medication is free except teir 3 which is $40 copay Dental services new this year paid 100%. No annual max. This is my Medicare advantage plan

[@lindacontois8818]

Very sad that many of us worked and paid more than our fair share over 40-50 years into Medicare! This is disgraceful and shameful! I was an Emergency nurse & paramedic for 40+ years, I often worked overtime cuz I was needed to fill gaps in staff.. so when I finally retired, I m punished by having to pay more & more for Medicare👎👎👎👎. This is how our government “thanks us”?👎👎👎

It’s critical for Medicare-eligible individuals to select optimal plans to reduce the likelihood that lack of coverage would prevent smart health care utilization choices, not only for their health outcomes, but also to help keep health care spending in check.

[@johnCoy-u1w]

In my opinion, enrolling in medicare isn’t just a way to get health care coverage when you turn 65, it’s also a major part of ensuring financial security during retirement. Individuals can seek counsel from a certified financial advisor, who can provide specialized advice and methods to decrease expenses and maximize income.

[@Nancy-1w]

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle.

The 60 day period starts the day you are discharged from the hospital, if you go back to the hospital within that 60 days you do not have to pay the deductible. If you return after the 60 days period then that is when the deductible would come back into the picture.

It depends on where you live. If you can afford it, it is always better than advantage plans because the out of pocket charges can add up and the delays or denials of authorizations. Even needing home health, rehab or physical therapy is almost impossible to get a prior authorization sometimes.If you absolutely cannot afford a supplement be sure and call this group they will check every plan to fit your circumstances and guide you in your decision WITH NO pressure at all. But call before December 7. That's when open enrollment ends. I chose plan N which does have a tiny bit of risk but it was almost $40 cheaper.

[@wisepati123]

This doesn’t seem right. What did your mother go in for? She should be able to be treated for that. But if you only had Medicare and not a supplement, you might have to do a co-pay.

This must be a misunderstanding. Many clerks are not very helpful. Medicare generally pays 80% and you are expected to pay a 20% co-pay if you don't have additional insurance, but many doctors will accept the 80% amount for full payment. Sign up on their website (medicare) so you can understand how it works and find doctors that will help you. You should get a giant catalog showing what Medicare pays for each year.

[@MedicareSchool]

That would not apply until you are actually collecting SS benefits. So you are fine as of now. Since you don't plan to start collecting until your FRA, then there's no limit on what you can make in a year. That only would apply if you collect before your FRA.

[@graciecarreon7825]

​@MedicareSchool Thank you

[@debbieb1624]

So when you file taxes jointly it can mess up the spouse that takes their SS earlier than FRA because it takes into consideration both incomes when it comes to the $$ ($22,300 this year). Am I understanding that correctly? So will the spouse that took their SS early get penalized even after the other spouse starts collecting at his FRA? I hope I'm making sense.

[@MedicareSchool]

No for the earnings test those are calculated for each individual. So if you are both collecting before FRA, both would go through earning tests and each can make the $23,400(2025) amount.

Those part A co pays are deadly

[@apeel2008]

Can you please clarify something since you seem to mention two different look back periods. Sometimes you say they look back to your MAGI in 2022 and later you say they look back to your MAGI in 2023. Which is it? Please tell me which of these two scenarios your are saying applies, assuming MFJ examples: Scenario 1) The IRMAA bracket of $212,000 was part of the new 2024 tax year IRMAA brackets, so I think it will be used when filing our 2024 income taxes. Since it is for the tax year 2024, it looks back to 2022 MAGI to determine what your 2025 Medicare premiums would be. However, since taxes filings for 2024 are not due until April 2025, that means any IRMAA penalties for 2025 wont’t start until after the tax filings. If this is true, will the penalty be applied retroactively in the later months of 2025? Scenario 2) since the new tax bracket is used to determine your IRMAA penalty for 2025, maybe the IRS will look at your 2023 taxes and if our 2023 MAGI was over $212K, then we will start paying the IRMAA penalty immediately in Jan 2025. As I write this I realize now that while I always thought Scenario 1 was true, I am starting to think that it is really Scenario 2 that is correct. Which is correct?

[@MedicareSchool]

Scenario one is correct, they are always going to look back two years no matter what. If it's 2024 lookback is 2022, if it's 2027 lookback is 2025.

[@apeel2008]

@ I understand that the look back is two years, but note that BOTH of the scenarios I mention have a 2-year look back. What I am confused with is the the title refers to 2025 IRMAA Brackets, and we still haven’t got the final stuff for Tax Year 2024 yet. When the term Brackets is used by the IRS , it is usually referring to the Tax Year in question. So the $212K MFJ bracket would be for Tax Year 2025, and it would look back to 2023 to see what the IRMAA penalty to pay during year 2025. If that interpretation is correct, then that is what I am trying to describe in my Scenario 2, not Scenario 1.

[@ubersticks]

So if my MAGI went down significantly in 2024 due to retiring, will it take two years before that is reflected in reduced or eliminated IRMAA ???

[@MedicareSchool]

If you retired you can appeal that IRMAA to go back to a standard premium. That would qualify as a life changing event. You can watch this video here that elaborates on that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZLRe6edht2koLs

I am told that in order for me to recieve social security benefits I must be enrolled in Medicare. Is this true?

[@RetardedSissy]

You can start receiving social security at 62. You can not get Medicare until 65. Before 65 you have to enroll for marketplace healthcare, or qualify for Medicaid.

[@stevenmitchell1]

If you don't enroll in Medicare by age 65 you likely will be penalized for failing to do so. Before that age, you don't have to enroll in Medicare.

[@8aNda1d]

No. But when you begin receiving SS if you have accrued 40 work units. You will automatically receive M'care part A. You will pay the $185 a month for part B or you can opt out of part B. But if you do that you won't have insurance for anything other than hospital stays. Once you get part B it will pay 80% of your medical bills. To have the other 20% covered you will need either a M'care supplement plan or an advantage plan. You can opt out of part D but if you choose to do so you will be charged a penalty if you ever decide to enroll in a D plan. This may be more information than you need and you may be aware of all this. If so please forgive me.

[@MedicareSchool]

You do not HAVE to be in Medicare especially if you are still working or covered by a spouses employer plan as well. Other wise we would advise taking Medicare to avoid any penalties.

[@HieuQuach-u5s]

Thank you for putting a great video. Do you know Cigna supplemental plan holders move forward next year in 2025 after the deal with Service Heath Care Corporation ? What is the outcome of policy benefit holders ?

All will remain the same, the only thing that would change is just the name of plans. All coverage will remain the same.

In my opinion the Medicare Tax Rate should be quadrupled & the Social Security Tax Rate should be tripled. While requiring employers to match these tax rates.

So every month I would pay 174.20 for B plus 150.00 for G?

The 174 is for 2024. It should already be deducted from you SS.. It increases to 185 in 2025. And you will be responsible for whatever your premium is for G

When you start collecting Social Security and you then are automatically enrolled in Medicare do they start taking the $174 our for Part B and enroll you in that? Or do you have to ask for that? Thank You!

Does Medicare (Or Social Security) monitor my IRS Tax Return Filing Status? I'm 73, was single for a decade, then married in August 18, 2023. I'm paying a high IRMMA. I filed a married joint tax return for my 2023 Taxes. Will Social Security or Medicare pickup on that and automatically adjust my IRMMA for the January 2025 Calendar year regarding IRMMA reductions from my Social Security?

[@MedicareSchool]

They automatically review IRMAA every year dating 2 years back. So for 2025 it will asses your 2023 income and will adjust accordingly. Here is a video on how that all works! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZLRe6edht2koLs

I'm 67 and 8 months (full retirement age) and still working full time and have applied and confirmed my SSI payments. I stopped my health benefit at work because I understand that Medicare part B comes out of my monthly payment automatically. Can anyone here that knows, confirm to me if I did this right with my Medicare? I already have a Govt. issued Part A card.

[@8aNda1d]

There are some rules that need to be met in your circumstance. Having to do with the number of employees at your workplace and when and if you do decide to get part B you will have to have your employer fill out a form saying you've had credible insurance. Be sure and call Medicare School, to have everything explained to you they are REALLY nice and willing to help you

The IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income. You must itemize your deductions on IRS Schedule A to deduct your medical expenses instead of taking the Standard Deduction.

[@wisepati123]

Currently the standard deduction is very high, but it will end at the end of 2025 when Trump‘s tax changes expire. Who knows what it will be after that.

Is the earning test for taking social security early just on the person taking SS or joint income. Example spouse is 62 and below the earnings limit. I am 63 and still working so above the limit. I know her SS amount will be reduced since she is not at FRA but curious if she will also be penalized by my income.
