Q&A with Shivaram Swamy

I’m 73, became an LPR May 16, 2024, and enrolled in Medicare A and B in May 2025, with B effective February 2026; my U.S. citizen husband worked here over 10 years. Why was my Part B penalty calculated from age 65 to LPR status when I lived abroad and was neither a citizen nor an LPR?

Answer: Your Medicare Part B penalty should be based on when you first became eligible for Medicare, not simply when you turned 65. Since you were living abroad and were neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident, I recommend requesting a review from Social Security. Your husband’s work history may also affect your eligibility date. Ask Social Security to verify your original eligibility date and recalculate the penalty if necessary.

What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?

Answer: Working with a licensed Medicare agent can make a significant difference when choosing the right coverage. Medicare can be confusing, with different plans, benefits, costs, and coverage options. My goal is to simplify the process by taking the time to understand each client’s healthcare needs, financial situation, preferred doctors, and prescription medications before recommending suitable options.

As a licensed Life, Health, and Medicare insurance agent in North Carolina, I believe every client deserves personalized attention, honest guidance, and clear explanations without pressure or confusion. I help clients compare available plans, understand their benefits, avoid unnecessary expenses, and make informed decisions with confidence. My assistance comes at no additional cost to the client, and my commitment extends beyond enrollment. I strive to build lasting relationships by remaining available to answer questions, review changing needs, and provide ongoing support. My priority is not simply to help someone enroll in a plan, but to help them feel confident that their coverage meets their individual needs.
