Don’t let Medicare penalties catch you by surprise!
Missing your enrollment window isn't just a one-time mistake—it can lead to extra costs that stay with you for the rest of your life. Here’s the 2026 breakdown:
🔹 Part B (Medical): Missed it? You’ll pay an extra 10% penalty for every year you waited. This penalty is PERMANENT.
🔹 Part D (Prescription Drugs): Even a small gap in coverage (63+ days) can trigger a monthly penalty that never goes away.
🔹 Part A (Hospital): Most get this for free, but if you don’t, delaying can increase your premium by 10% for several years.
The good news? You can avoid these entirely by signing up during your Initial Enrollment Period (the 7-month window around your 65th birthday). 🎂
Confused about the timing? I’m here to help you navigate the jargon and make sure you’re covered without the extra fees. 🛡️
