Afternoon. Question geared to the older folks on here.
We have been having trouble with Bank of America online pay for Medicare premiums.
We have learned that, for whatever reason, BoA does not do an electronic transaction anymore with CMS but rather goes to a third party to snail mail a check. So right now, CMS may not received a payment that we made online on 13 Feb. BoA has indicated that it can take up to 2 weeks after going on line to Billpay for the check to be received.
It gets even more interesting. When I contacted CMS they said it could take up to 30 days after receiving the payment to even acknowledge that it was received.
So I think then I have to pay online approx 44 days ahead of the due date.
Looking for different means. Alternate bank from BoA, perhaps Wells Fargo?use online premium pay from medicare? sign up for automatic payments (that takes 6-8 weeks).
Meanwhile we are not sure if we have paid premium and will not know for a couple of more weeks. Just doesn't seem efficient.
Thanks
