Could I ask you other than the price increase you mentioned has there been any more in your premium? I do not want to be intrusive but you and your info are helpful. Thank you

@mdk1960 Your question is not at all intrusive. I mentioned my Medicare Part D prescription plan with WellCare. When I signed up 5 years ago I believe the plan was about $20/month. For the past two years I have not had any premium - so the cost actually went down. That's odd, isn't it? When do costs ever go down?

I've had two price increases in the time I've been on Traditional Medicare. !) Part B has gone up but that is Medicare-government controlled. It goes up each year by about $10/month. 2) I have had one price increase from Transamerica for my Part G Supplement. It went up $15/month.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else related to Medicare. It's likely that whatever questions you might have, assuming I can respond with an answer or reference, will be helpful to someone else here at Mayo Clinic Connect.
