Will Medicare Reimburse Me For The Payments I Made Before They Admitted Their Mistake?

Hello Larry. Medicare made a determination that I had to pay my own Medicare Parts A and B, and later Medicare admitted that they made a mistake and I was eligible for free Part A and the normal rate for Part B. Will Medicare reimburse me for the payments I made before they admitted their mistake? Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, if Medicare overcharged you for premiums they should refund any excess premiums that you paid. However, without knowing the details of your case I can't be sure that you are due a refund.

Best, Jerry
