Did you know some Medicare Advantage plans can reduce your Part B premium in 2026? The standard Part B premium this year is $202.90/month. Certain MA plans offer what's called a Part B giveback -- the plan uses part of its funding to lower what you pay toward that premium. If a plan offers a $50/month reduction, you'd be looking at roughly $152.90 instead of $202.90. That's real money, especially on a fixed income. Here's the thing though -- the plan with the biggest giveback isn't always the best fit. Before you choose, you also want to look at: - Are your doctors in network? - Are your prescriptions covered? - What are the copays and max out-of-pocket? - Do the extra benefits (dental, vision, hearing) match what you actually need? It's the whole package that matters, not just the headline number. We help our clients compare it all -- network, drug coverage, costs, and giveback amounts.
