What happens when your Medicare MSA funds run out?
Answered by 4 licensed agents
The important thing to understand is that the MSA deposit and the deductible are not the same amount. There can be a gap between the two. If you spend all of the MSA funds, you may have to cover that gap with your own money.
Once your Medicare-covered expenses reach the plan’s deductible for the year, the MSA plan generally pays 100% of Medicare-covered Part A and Part B services for the remainder of that year.
Also, any MSA money you don’t spend isn’t lost at the end of the year. It stays in the account and rolls over for future qualified medical expenses.
One other important point: Medicare MSA plans do not include Part D prescription drug coverage, so someone who wants prescription coverage generally needs to enroll in a separate Medicare Part D plan.
