Do You Know Why My Medicare Premium Billing Was Changed From Quarterly To Monthly?

Ever since my husband retired, I've been receiving Medicare benefits along with HNE insurance.
I have always been billed quarterly.
This past December, I received a bill for my January clverage.
And I just received a bill for my February coverage.
I called to find outvwhy , after almost 15 years my payment coverage KS changing.
I did not receive an adequate explanation.
Are able to help.

Thank you
Louise

Hi Louise. I'm sorry, but I can't explain why your billing schedule would have changed. Part B Medicare premiums are billed quarterly unless a person also pays premiums for Part A of Medicare or if their Part B premiums are being withheld from their benefit payments. The following Medicare website lists the phone number to call if you have with billing questions: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/costs/pay-premiums.

Best, Jerry
