If you have income from 24 months ago that will put you in a high income earner you will need to fill out the form SSA-44 for an IRRMA reduction.
You can find these forms on my website under the forms tab.

Make a list your important doctors and prescriptions. Contact an independant agent that works with many if not all of the carriers and different types of plans ie Med Sups, Medicare Advantage, Prescription Drug plans to narrow down your options for you. While you can find most of this information independently, what you wont find is the detailed information that can make a difference in your coverage. Especially in 2025 with the significant changes in ALL of the prescription drug plans. You can start the rieview and application process as early as 3 months before needing it in place...
Focus on actual care thats needed now and will happen in the future.. One of those calls I get from time to time starts with "remember that plan we talked about, I should have listened to you instead of goin out on my own" There's no cost in working with an independant agent, there could be a significant cost in not doing so..
