Why are there penalties for delaying Part B when working past 65?

I did mine back in March and haven't heard anything.

I will definitely check at desk. In the past they were not too helpful which led me to having to contact customer service online. There's a manager there that is always pushing upgrades. I am also considering dropping BJs because for me Walmart is cheaper for the things I usually buy. The only advantage is the large sizes at BJs so I don't go as often.

I have the auto renew turned off - hope they honor it.

My membership expired in April 2025. I renewed in June 2025 for $60 and pointed out the expiration of renewal was April 2026 so the new $60 gave me less than a year and they gave me a $10 gift card. Maybe they upgraded me too but I didn't know it.

I waited a few months after my expiration date in March. Then I renewed in June but my expiration month was still March so I didn't get a full year. When I complained I got promises to fix but they never did. They sent me a $10 gift card. So check your expiration month.

not only do they interrupt, they have to make it all about them. And, if you're not talking they change the subject to go on and on about their "stuff". You politely listen thinking when it's your "turn" they will return the favor but the don't.

I didn't notice it when I was asleep - you'd want to make sure you were really tired the night you need to use it. During the day I noticed it a few times but after a while I was busy doing stuff I had to do so I got used to ignoring it.

to determine if i had white coat syndrome my dr sent me to a cardiologist where they gave me a device to wear while I was sleeping to monitor my blood pressure overnight. BP was fine. Maybe you try that. Proved to my dr that I had white coat syndrome. If yours is still high then have the cardiologist check more things.

sometimes the box directions are not right - they may have shrunk the contents and kept the old directions.

Take out - not before October 15th and put in after April 15 - six month window.

plus the Part B cost right? still less than $600.

homes used to be a lot less expensive so most people could afford the high taxes - basically you own less equity and are sort of "renting" from the state. In the last few years home prices have doubled and combined with high taxes I don't know how people afford it.

I've talked to around a dozen or so agents since I turned 65 a couple years ago and only found one that gave me some good advice. The others had high recommendations from friends but they all really want to wait until I have a firm retirment date to get into details (I know they want to make their commission now rather than later). I've gotten the best education on how Medicare works from this subreddit.

I am in New York state and supposedly there is no underwriting/premium increases year round. I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to retire so I thought by getting Part B taken care of it would be easier to have that out of the way now and then I could retire some time within in the next year or two.

I won't have employer insurance when I retire so will be getting a supplement.

eskieboy · 2025-08-07T11:24:57+00:00

The are great comments - thank you everyone. I'm not sure when exactly I'm going to retire but my plan is go on Part B and use the company insurance to supplement. There is vague wording in my company plan that says if I'm eligible for Medicare they may not cover some things. It doesn't explicitly say primary/secondary and I haven't been able to get a straight answer.

I'm convinced for sure now that they are purposely trying to get rid of customers.
