Dear Toni,
My Medicare begins Sept. 1, and I have received my first bill for $660. This bill is for four months, from September to December. I thought Medicare was a monthly premium of $164.90. If I pay the outrageous premium, then I cannot afford my car payment.
This bill for Medicare is due Aug. 25. Does Medicare allow monthly payments for the Medicare Part B premium? I cannot have my Medicare premium taken from my Social Security check because I work and make more than Social Security allows without having to pay a penalty since I am not at my “full retirement age.”
