Do you receive a bill labeled Notice of Medicare Premium Payment Due? If yes, we are going to help educate you on what the different payment notices mean and how you can pay it.
If you receive benefits from Social Security, Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), or Civil Service your Medicare Part B premium is already deducted from your benefit payment.
What if you don’t receive any of these benefits?
If you do not receive any of these benefits, but you buy Medicare Part A, you sign up for Part B, or you owe a Part D income-related adjustment you will receive a notice of payment due called “Notice of Medicare Premium Payment Due”. You can expect to receive this bill on or around the 10th of every month. See the list of 2016 Part B premiums.
Here is a sample of what the bill will look like:
