Since (#1) monthly benefit amount is less than (#2) Medicare premium, we will withhold (#3) monthly benefits to pay part of (#4) medical insurance premium. The difference between the premiums (#5) for (#6) and (#7) monthly benefit amount for (#8) is $(#9).

PAYMENTS BY CHECK

When you provide a check as a payment, you authorize the Medicare Premium Collection Center (MPCC) to use the information from your check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from your bank account.

You will not get your check back from your bank. If the MPCC cannot process your payment electronically, they will process it as a check transaction. Your bank statement will show the transaction as "CMS Medicare" and this is your proof of payment.
