Medicare with a Pension: Avoid Tax & Premium Surprises in Retirement

from Joe Knows Retirement · host Joe Schmitz Jr.

If you have a pension and over $1 million saved for retirement, your Medicare costs may look very different from the average retiree. In this video, we walk through why age 63 is such a critical planning year, how Medicare premiums are calculated, and strategies to minimize both taxes and healthcare expenses throughout retirement. You'll learn about projected 2026 Medicare costs, the impact of required minimum distributions (RMDs), Roth conversion opportunities, and how to avoid costly mistakes that could push you into higher Medicare premium tiers. Stay tuned until the end for insights on IRMAA appeals, supplemental vs. advantage plans, and how to make Medicare planning work in your favor.
