What grounds to Medicare beneficiaries have to appeal? For example, if a client retires at the end of 2017 and makes $100k this year but starts Part B in January, are they able to appeal an IRMAA decision to get their Part B premium knocked down to the standard amount for 2018?
According to the rule, their Part B premium for 2018 is based on their 2016 income and if they retire they'll be well under the $85k threshold. Without an appeal, they're stuck paying the IRMAA for all of this year and next.
Anyone have much experience in this particular area helping clients?
