Medicare mistakenly gave refunds
Some people may have received a refund payment for drug plan premiums recently, either by check or direct deposit. Medicare asks that the money be returned by voiding the check and mailing it back or writing a personal check for the amount deposited to Medicare Drug Premiums, P.O. Box 9058, Pleasanton CA 94566-9058; or calling 1-866-292-8080 to have Medicare directly debit the amount from your personal bank account. If you’ve already returned the payment or would like to repay by making monthly installments, please call 1-866-292-8080.
