Section 3 : Important Notes

Lag Time : Your IRMAA for 2024 is based on your modified adjusted gross income from 2022. The government uses a two-year lag time when determining IRMAA calculations for Medicare beneficiaries.

Adjustment Process : If you believe your income has changed significantly since 2022 due to a life-changing event (e.g., marriage, divorce, retirement), you can request a review of your IRMAA.

Understanding your IRMAA is crucial for managing your Medicare expenses. By knowing how your modified adjusted gross income affects your premiums, you can plan better for your healthcare costs. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact us.
