What will the Medicare premiums and deductibles cost seniors in 2012? Looking Ahead Dear Looking, The new Medicare premium, deductible and co-pay charges for 2012 were all an- nounced a few weeks ago and the news was actually pretty good. Here’s a break- down of what retirees can expect to pay for Medicare starting in January. 2012 Premiums / For most Medicare beneficiaries who enrolled in 2009 or earlier, your monthly premiums for Part B (which covers doc- tor visits and outpatient care) will in- crease only $3.50 to $99.90 in 2012. That’s much less than was predicted by the government earlier in the year. The increase is the first in four years for “most people with Medicare, mainly be- cause of the federal law that freezes Part B premiums’ when there’s no Social Se- curity = cost-of-living = adjustment (COLA), which was the case in 2010 How Much You'll Pay and 2011. But, Social Security recently announced a 3.6 percent COLA for 2012. That 3.6 percent increase will boost monthly Social Security checks by an average of about $43 for retirees next year. So, even after your Part B premi- ums get deducted from your Social Se- curity checks, you’ll still have about $40 more every month. The news for younger retiree is even bet- ter. Medicare Part B beneficiaries that enrolled in 2010 who've been paying $110.50 per month, and those that en- rolled this year (in 2011) who are cur- rently paying $115.40 per month, will see their Part B premiums go down to $99.90. And for high-income beneficiaries, who’ve been paying higher Part B pre- miums because their annual incomes are more than $85,000, or $170,000 for joint filers, they too, will see their monthly Part B premiums drop in 2012. Here's a breakdown of what they will pay next year based on their income level. o Individuals with incomes of $85,000 to $107,000, or married couples filing Power Lift Chairs jist 549-%° : FURNITURE Open: Mon- Fri 8:30-5:30 » Sat 8:30-5:00 90 Days Sams As Cash Win Credit Approeel Visa.

Battleground Ave. Kings Mountain, NC 28086 704-739-3800 theamosagencylic@belisouth.net E1003 Editor for Medicare in 2012 joint tax returns with .incomes of $170,000 to $214,000 will pay $139.90 per person per month for Part B. That’s a $21.60 reduction from this year’s pre- mium. e Individuals earning $107,000 to $160,000, or married couples with in- comes of $214,000 to $320,000 will pay $199.80 — a $30.90 reduction. : o Individuals with incomes of $160,000 to $214,000, or couples with incomes of $320,000 to $428,000 will pay $259.70 — a $40.20 reduction. « Individuals over $214,000 or couples above $428,000 will pay $319.70 each per month for Part B. That's $49.40 less that this year. Other Medicare changes you need to know about that will affect all benefici- aries includes the Part B deductible, which will be $140 in 2012, a decrease of $22. And the deductible for Part A, which covers inpatient hospital care, will rise by $24, to $1,156 next year. For more information on all the Medicare premiums and coinsurance rates for 2012 see medicare.gov/cost or call 800-633-4227. Help with Premiums If you're a high-income beneficiary and your income has fallen since 2010 (the tax year used to determine your 2012 premiums) you may be able to reduce or eliminate your. Medicare Part B pre- mium surcharge. To qualify, your in- come loss must be tied to a life-changing event such as a marriage or divorce, a job loss or reduced work hours (includ- ing retirement), loss of income from in- come-producing property, or cuts in pension benefits. To learn more see ssa.gov/pubs/10536.html. And for lower-income retirees who are having a difficult time paying their Medicare costs, help is available through Medicare Savings Programs. These are Medicaid-administered programs that pay Part B premiums and depending on your finances may even pick up the tab on your copayments and deductibles. To find out if you qualify contact your local Medicaid office — call 800-633-4227 for contact information. Send your questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
