What is Medicare 500?
The “Medicare Premium Bill ” (CMS-500) is a bill for people who pay Medicare directly for their Part A premium, Part B premium, and/or Part D IRMAA (an extra amount in addition to the Medicare Part D premium). If you’re having trouble paying your premiums now or if you have any questions about your Medicare premium bill, call us at 1-800-MEDICARE.
What is the April bill?
If you get a bill each month, the bill you get in April is for May coverage. If you get a bill every 3 months, the bill you get in April is for May, June, and July coverage. Your bill may also include premiums for past months if you missed a payment, if you're getting your first bill, or if you had a change in your premium amount.
Do you get a confirmation number when you pay Medicare?
You'll get a confirmation number when you make your payment. Your credit/debit card statement will show a payment made to "CMS Medicare.". You can't set up payments automatically each month — you'll need to log into your account each time you need to pay your premium.
