Making Medicare Payments

The way you make your Medicare payments depends on your plan.

How do I Make Medicare Part A and Part B Payments?

Most people do not get a bill for Medicare Part A or Part B because the payments are deducted from Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits. 

If you are not getting benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board, you will get a bill in the mail. Medicare Part A is billed monthly. Medicare Part B is billed quarterly. 

There are several ways you can pay your bill:

  • Pay online through your Medicare account
  • Have your payments automatically deducted from your checking or savings account
  • Process a payment from your bank’s online billing 
  • Mail a payment

How do I Make Medicare Advantage Payments?

There are several ways you can pay your Medicare Advantage Premium:

  • Elect to have your Medicare Advantage premium deducted from your retirement benefits each month
  • Pay online through your plan’s online payment portal
  • Have your payments automatically deducted from your checking or savings account
  • Process a payment from your bank’s online bill payment system
  • Mail a payment
  • Pay with your Health Savings Account (HSA) funds

How do I Make Medicare Part D Payments?

There are several ways you can pay your Medicare Part D premium:

  • Elect to have your Part D premium deducted from your retirement benefits each month
  • Pay online through your plan’s online payment portal
  • Have your payments automatically deducted from your checking or savings account
  • Process a payment from your bank’s online billing 
  • Mail a payment

How do I Make Medigap Payments?

Medigap premiums have to be paid directly to the plan. They can’t be deducted from your social security benefits. The plan will provide information on billing and payments. 

Can I Pay for Medicare Costs with My HSA?

You can use the funds in your health savings account (HSA) to pay for Medicare expenses, but you cannot continue to contribute to an HSA account once you are enrolled in Medicare. 

Even if your Medicare premiums are automatically deducted from your Social Security check, you can take tax-free withdrawals from HSA to reimburse yourself for your Medicare costs.
