Although Jack waited 18 months after he first became eligible to sign up for
Part B, only one period of 12 full months has elapsed, so his penalty would
be an additional charge of 10% of his usual premium. The standard
premium for Part B in 2015 was $104.90. Assuming that Jack, like most
people, paid the standard premium, he would be charged an additional
$10.49 (10% of the standard premium amount) for a total premium of
$115.39 ($104.90 plus the $10.49 penalty). Jack would pay that additional 10%
penalty for as long as he had Medicare Part B, not just for the first year. If
the amount of the standard premium increased, the amount of the penalty
would also increase to equal 10% of the higher premium.
