How Do I Get A Refund Of A Double Paid Part B Medicare Premium?

How to get refund of double paid medicare Part B premium?
I have double paid medicare part B premium on August 2022, so far I have not yet received the refund; on your article you suggest just be patient and wait, and the refund will eventually arrived. I have been waiting for over 6 months already; so what can I do to get refund of my double paid premium? Thanks for your help.



Hi. Any duplicate Part B Medicare premiums withheld from a person's Social Security benefits should be refunded to them automatically. If they aren't, your only recourse is to follow up with Social Security. There is no form that you can submit to make a formal request for a refund.

One thing that you could try, though, is to contact the offices of your U.S. congressional representative or one of your U.S. senators. Inquiries received by Social Security from members of Congress on behalf of one of their constituents can often expedite the resolution of their problem.

Best, Jerry
