Medicare Late Enrollment Penalty Calculators
Nevada's growing retiree population means more people navigating Medicare for the first time. Don't let a missed deadline cost you permanently.
Part B Late Enrollment Penalty
10% surcharge for every full 12-month period you delayed Part B without qualifying employer coverage. Permanent.
Total months without Part B after your IEP, excluding qualifying employer group coverage.
Part D Late Enrollment Penalty
1% of the national base premium per uncovered month if you go 63+ days without creditable drug coverage. Permanent.
Months without Part D or creditable drug coverage after initial eligibility.
How Nevada Residents Can Avoid Medicare Penalties
Part B: Enroll during your IEP around age 65, or have qualifying employer group coverage (not COBRA, not Marketplace — and Nevada's state exchange coverage does NOT count as creditable for Part B).
Part D: Enroll when first eligible or maintain creditable drug coverage. Nevada state employees with PEBP should verify their drug coverage is creditable.
