Online Bill Payment for Medicare Premiums
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: August 3, 2017
Social Security is here with tools and information to help you secure today and tomorrow. Did you know that you can pay your Medicare premiums online? If your bank offers the option to pay your bills online, you can use their service to pay for your Medicare premiums bill from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
You, or your representative, must sign up for your bank’s online bill payment process and you can contact your bank directly for assistance. Social Security and CMS are not involved in establishing the online bill pay service with your bank. Before you contact your bank to set up the process, make sure you have the following information available:
- Amount of your Medicare premium bill
- Account number: Medicare claim number without dashes. You can find this number on the red, white, and blue Medicare card.
- Biller name: CMS Medicare Insurance
- Biller’s address:
Medicare Premium Collection Center
P.O. Box 790355
St. Louis, MO 63179-0355
You’ll need to tell the bank how much money to deduct from your account to pay for the Medicare premium. You’ll also need to update the amount with your bank whenever there is a change in the Medicare premium amount. This usually happens in January when CMS announces the new Medicare premium rates. You can find more information at Medicare.gov or CMS’s online bill pay webpage.
Remember, CMS does not charge a fee for processing the electronic payments, but in some situations, a bank may charge their customers a fee for using their online bill payment service. If you have any questions about bill pay, please contact your bank or financial institution directly. You can also visit CMS’s online bill pay for more information on paying your Medicare premiums.

Hello,
I am in need of guidance on how to cancel my Medicare benefits. I am not sure if I have A or B (maybe both), but I never enrolled for this.
I was on disability due to a battle with cancer; however, I am cancer free and no longer on disability.
Please advise how I can cancel the Medicare benefits.
I can be reached by phone at 941-404-9336.

Hi John. To terminate your Medicare enrollment, you will need to submit a signed request for termination or Form CMS-1763. We can help you complete it. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires, when possible, a personal interview be conducted with the person who wishes to terminate his/her Medicare enrollment. Therefore, we do not offer form CMS-1763 online. You can call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday to set up an appointment or you can go to your local Social Security office. We hope this helps

Francisco S.
I am 65 and retiring. My spouse is 60 years old. Upon my retirement will she receive medicare benefits also?
L.A.
Thank you for your question, Francisco. The earliest age your spouse can get Medicare Part A and B is at age 65, unless your spouse qualifies while getting Social Security disability benefits. If your spouse is already getting Social Security retirement benefits, your spouse will be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B automatically. You can learn more about Medicare enrollment here. We hope this helps.
