@lightenup—-Medicare is indeed taken out of SS checks before she would receive her monthly payment. I believe that also includes the part D for prescriptions, if she has that coverage also. With part B, that is paid separately to companies such as United Health Care on a monthly basis. Mine is taken out of my bank account automatically every month by them. Maybe that is what she might be thinking of. Medicare covers about 80%, & if you have the optional supplemental part B, that usually covers the other 20%.
