Things may be different if you are SSDI, and younger than retirement age.

I'd go to the website and check yourself.

85,000 is the cut off for higher part B deductions.

Part B is what we are talking about here. Part A is free for most
retirees.

Part A for others is 411 dollars a month...as this link explains:
Part A costs | Medicare.gov

So conceivably for some, to get Part A and B could be 500 dollars a month depending on your particular circumstances.

I became eligible for Part A (no fee) when I turned 62... and I enrolled at that time. I became eligible for Part B when I turned 66 and enrolled in that for $104 a month.

I am talking about PART D. I know what my premiums for part A and B are for me. 120 bucks. From the little bit of studying I have done, my list of six meds will get knocked down to about 2 meds. And, I have no idea what the Part D deductibles and premiums will be. Time for me to be both studying the subject but also looking for a cozy bridge to live under and a dumpster near by for snacks.

What the gov't gave with the left hand by way of SSDI benefits, it now swiftly takes away in one move . . .

Not sure what is around you.....In a month people will have to make choices, go to your local big box pharmacy....Tell them the meds you take and they can make a suggestion as what plan (part D)for meds covers you best...I know for sure Walgreen's does this for free as a service..

Do you take prescription meds?

If so, how do you pay for them?

Just plain old Medicare - Part a and b -- do not cover meds. One has to shop from like over a hundred companies to see which ones carry your meds and then compare them with the other companies that also carry your meds.

Thanks.
