The ODS Advantage PPO monthly premium for 2011 is $64.10. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third party.
Monthly payments may be made:
If it takes two months for deductions to begin, two monthly premiums will be withheld in a lump sum from your Social Security benefit.
If it takes three months for deductions to begin, three monthly premiums will be withheld in a lump sum from your Social Security benefit. You will never have a deduction that is more than three months worth of premiums or more than $200 worth of premiums.
If you would like more information on deducting your monthly premium from your Social Security check, please contact member services.
If you have questions about any of these options, call member services.
