The Service has ruled in technical advice that amounts paid to retired employees for Medicare Part B premiums are not excludable from gross income under sections 106 or 105(b).
In the case where a company makes payments to its retired employees to reimburse them for Medicare Part B voluntary supplementary medical insurance premiums, and the company does not require that a retiree verify enrollment in Medicare Part B, nor does it require that the retiree verify payment of the Medicare Part B premiums, then the reimbursement payments are not excludable under IRC Section 106 or 105(b).

No, you only have EITHER Part A of Medicare OR Part B of Medicare to get Part D. It is not necessary to have both parts to get D. This is completely incorrect according to the Social Security Adm. (This is where you have to sign up for Medicare). I was told this information 9-24-10.
The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) provided for a special enrollment period for Medicare Part B for TRICARE beneficiaries who have Medicare Part A. If you have Medicare Part A (which generally pays for hospital care) and don't have Medicare Part B (which generally pays for doctor visits) you may be able to enroll in Part B without paying a late enrollment penalty.
PART D Medicare covers the RX Celebrex. Part B does not cover it. Part A covers it if it is dispensed while you are in the hospital.
Medicare has four primary parts, and coverage, costs and enrollment vary for each. Medicare Part A refers to hospital insurance, which covers things such as hospitalization, hospice care, limited skilled nursing facility care, blood and home health care. Medicare Part B refers to medical insurance for items like routine doctor's visits and outpatient procedures. Medicare Part A is free for most beneficiaries, and the standard monthly cost for Medicare Part B in 2013 is $104.90. Medicare Part C, also called Medicare Advantage, refers to plans offered by private insurance companies that cover Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Part D is an optional prescription drug plan provided by private companies.
