- Summary
A person enrolled in original Medicare can pay their premiums online. There are several secure options, and some payment options can be automatic.
People who do not get benefit payments from the Social Security Administration or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) receive bills for Medicare premiums.
Individuals can pay their bills online through their MyMedicare account, and there is no fee to use the service.
A person can pay for premiums for:
•Medicare Part A (if applicable)
•Medicare Part B
Medicare bills usually arrive on or around the 10th day of the month.
The bill will list the dates for which a person is paying, which is usually a 1-month period for Part A and Part D but a 3-month period for Part B. Medicare must receive payment by the 25th day of the month.
Using MyMedicare, a person can pay their premium with a credit or debit card.
Once they have logged into their account, they select “Pay my premium” and enter the amount they would like to pay.
The website will then direct the person to the Department of the Treasury’s payment program — Pay.gov — to complete the payment.
After a person has completed their payment, they will receive a reference number for their records, and the credit card, debit card, or bank statement will show a transaction to “CMS Medicare.”
While credit and debit card payments may go through more quickly, individuals may also use their bank’s online payment service to move money from their savings or checking account to Medicare.
When payments come from checking or savings accounts, it can take up to 5 business days to process them.
Some banks will charge a fee for paying bills online, but Medicare will not charge a fee to process the payments.
To set up a payment through a bank, a person should take care to provide the right information to the bank, including:
•the amount to be paid
•the individual 11-character Medicare Number, which is on a person’s Medicare card or bill
Anyone who receives a bill for Medicare premiums and has a bank account is eligible for Medicare Easy Pay.
Easy Pay automatically deducts a person’s Medicare premiums from a savings or checking account.
To sign up, a person should complete the Authorization Agreement for Preauthorized Payments form, SF-5510. The form is available in English and Spanish.
A person should mail their completed form to the Medicare Premium Collection Center. Completion of the sign-up process takes about 6–8 weeks.
After a person has successfully registered for Medicare Easy Pay, they will receive a Medicare statement that includes the text, “This is not a bill.” This statement advises the person that Medicare will take the premium from their bank account.
An individual can expect to see the payment leave their bank account on or close to the 20th day of the month.
A Medicare bill will tell a person if their payments are late. There are usually three billing attempts:
•First bill: This bill comes every month if a person is paying on time (or every 3 months for those who just pay for Part B). Medicare must receive payment on or before the due date.
•Second bill: If Medicare does not receive payment from the first bill, a person will receive a second bill to pay in full by the specified due date.
•Delinquent: If Medicare does not receive payment for 90 days, a person must pay the total amount by the specified due date or risk losing their Medicare coverage.
A person has several options to pay their premiums online, including:
•MyMedicare.gov, using a credit or debit card
•online banking
•Medicare Easy Pay
Many people automatically pay their Medicare premiums directly from their Social Security or RRB benefits.
People who do not receive these benefits must pay their parts A and B premiums and the Part D IRMAA each month. Those who only pay for Part B will pay every 3 months.
