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.

I have been paying Medicare Premiums by accident since 2/1/2014 twice each month by accident. I called today to get a refund and was told I could not get a refund and instead the overpayment would need to be applied to future payments on my Medicare account. Is this in fact true? This does not seem right.

I need some help. I need to get the 2019 letter from the Social Security Administration (mailed out January 2019) which shows the amount of money Medicare is taking out of my social security monthly. Is there anyway I can get a replacement copy for my husband and I? We are both on Medicare since 2015 and Social Security since 2012 and I have completely misplaced these documents.

My social security payment begins this month (9/2019). Will my medicare premium be automatically deducted from my monthly deposit to my bank or must I pay the September, 2019 bill which I have received by mail?

Hi, Lorie. Generally, if you receive benefits, we will automatically deduct the Medicare Part B premium from your monthly payments. For your security, we do not have access to private information in this venue. To verify your Medicare Part B premium will be withheld, you can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for assistance. Generally, you will have a shorter wait if you call later in the day. You can also contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.
