With tax season upon us, we’re sharing an important reminder: The income reported on your tax return could impact how much you pay for Medicare Part B and Part D.

That’s because higher incomes can trigger an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) — an added charge on top of your standard premium.

The good news is that IRMAAs have a two-year lag time, giving those potentially impacted time to prepare.

Today, we celebrate National Pharmacist Day! It’s a chance to recognize the trusted professionals who play a key role in helping Americans stay healthy and get the most out of their coverage every single day.

Here are a few ways that pharmacists can help Medicare beneficiaries:

💊 Medication management - Pharmacists review prescriptions to prevent interactions and make sure dosages are safe and effective.
💊 Vaccine administration - Many provide important immunizations like flu, shingles, and pneumonia shots, often covered by Medicare.
💊 Chronic condition support - From diabetes to high blood pressure, pharmacists help patients manage ongoing conditions through medication counseling and monitoring.

If you have questions about how your Medicare plan supports your prescription needs or have any other Medicare needs, call our office today!
