I never heard of any insurance company paying a retiree’s Part B premium. I assume your friend is 65 years old? Maybe union teachers have some health benefits when they retire that the rest of us dont have. In Calif. if you are on Medi-Cal with a share of cost under $ 500 the state will pick up your Part B Medicare premium.

Nope, the only reason she’s got that ‘benefit’ is because she retired from the teachers’ union. It’s a union benefit. Government workers get extra retirement plans, that you and I have to pay for. You can’t buy into it.

The insurance is correct in saying that “everyone must pay the premium”. However, it doesn’t matter from where the money comes. There are some individual Medicare Advantage policies that are currently “rebating” some or all of the premium. Some retirement systems will pay or rebate the premium. The state Medicaid department will also pay some or all of the premium in some cases.

However, even if there are some individual plans that do pay the premium in your area it is too late to change in most cases. You are probably locked into your current plan until open enrollment next fall. Contact a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area to see what your options would be at this time.
