What is Medicare Modernization act?
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.
How do you know if you have to pay for your medicare part a and part b?
Social Security/Medicare will let you know whether/what you have to pay. Very few people have to pay for Part A; everyone pays for Part B.

How often do you pay for your Medicare?
During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Medicare Part A (hospitalization). When you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare, you can choose to enroll in Part B (medical/doctor's office). The premium for Part B for 2009 is $96.40 per month (if you make less than $85,000.00 per year) which is automatically deducted from your Social Security check.
Who is eligible for Medicare part d?
Anyone who has Medicare Part B.
Where do you pay Medicare b copay?
The Medicare Part B deductible for 2009 is $135.00. After you meet the $135.00 deductible, you will pay 20% of the bill unless you have a Medicare Supplement that pays the 20% for you. Some Medicare Supplements pay the $135.00 for you. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) your "copay" will vary between the type of plan, the company that offers it, and whether or not the doctor is a family doctor or a specialist. If you have one of these plans, usually a PPO or HMO, you don't pay the Medicare Part B deductible of $135.00
Do you have to have Medicare Part B if you have a medicare supplemental plan?
Yes; by definition, Medicare supplemental insurance "supplements" Medicare A & B.
Can a person have both Part A and Part B coverages from Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements?
During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck that pays for your Part A, so when you turn 65 you're automatically enrolled in Part A. You're not required to enroll in Part B, but it's better if you do so when eligible to avoid penalties for late enrollement. Medicare Part B is taken out of your Social Security Check.
