In this episode you will learn: - A continuous gap of 63 days or longer without creditable drug coverage triggers the Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty. - Penalty calculations count only full calendar months without creditable coverage, ignoring partial months. - The monthly penalty equals one percent of the current national base beneficiary premium multiplied by full uncovered months. - Preserving annual notices of creditable coverage provides essential proof to avoid improper penalty charges when switching plans. - Beneficiaries receiving Extra Help or Low-Income Subsidy are exempt from paying the Part D late enrollment penalty.
