Q&A with Misty Tucker
Why do some seniors end up paying lifelong penalties for Medicare Part B or Part D?
Answer: Late Enrollment penalties (LEP's) are a result of not having creditable coverage through an employer or spouse and not being enrolled in Medicare Part B or Part D after age 65. Part B and Part D (drug) penalties are calculated based on how my many months you went without being enrolled in Medicare Part B and Part D past age 65. Medicare Part B penalties may go away after a certain amount of time, Part D penalties never go away. LEP's are avoidable by enrolling in Medicare Part B and Part D at age 65 if you do not have "creditable" coverage. Medicare considers most group employer plans creditable, but it a good idea to check with your HR dept ahead of your 65th birthday to verify.
