I'll be 65 in 01/16. I plan to continue working in Switz. with Swiss insurance 'til 07/16. I've both Swiss & US citizenship. Will there be the 10% premium penalty if I wait to enroll in part B until my Swiss insurance ends in July 2016?
Also, will I still have an open enrollment for Supplemental Medigap insurance in August 2016?
Back when I was a news librarian, every year we'd go through meetings and nonsense about our "choices" even though we had no real choices. Since I've been self-employed, I've faced other insurance decisions. So, yes, the end of the year/beginning of the next is not only about holidays. It's about health insurance and taxes : ) It's always something that I've dreaded dealing with every year so I hear you, blueviolet.
