Medicare Update 1/24/2020

I have not received my Medicare card in the mail yet but there are some updates on the my Social Security website. There is a new section called Benefit & Payments Detail and it lists more info about my benefits.

I guess the most interesting part of the page is the Medicare Part B premiums. It still says $144.60/month which is the base premium. From their own website, I think I have to pay a lot more based on my salary. I have not received an invoice so far so I don’t know my premium yet. On the benefit verification letter, they’ve added my Medicare ID number, which I can use to get services before my card arrives. I’m still not sure what Part A and Part B covers other than ESRD related costs.
