It may sound like just another acronym in the sea of financial jargon, but understanding IRMAA is crucial for anyone planning their retirement journey. IRMAA affects Medicare premiums, specifically Part B (which covers outpatient care) and Part D (prescription drug coverage). IRMAA determines how much higher-income retirees will pay for these essential healthcare services; failure to anticipate these additional costs can lead to unpleasant financial surprises during retirement. Wisdom to Wealth’s financial advisors can help you navigate IRMAA thresholds and develop strategic income planning to potentially minimize or avoid Medicare premium surcharges while maintaining your desired lifestyle.

In being aware of how your income impacts Medicare premiums, you can take proactive steps to manage your finances efficiently.
