2015 Medicare Rates
Medicare Part B rates remain the
same this year at a base of $104.90.*
Medicare Part D (prescription
plans) change every year.*
You must turn in a 2015 benefit
statement showing your new monthly
premiums. Some individuals who
have not turned in current information
may be reimbursed less than the base
amount for Part B. Some individuals
are getting overpaid because their Part
D is less than it was last year.
In order to keep our funding avail-
able, please update your information by
