creditable your monthly premium may go up by at least 1 of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage For example if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage your premium may consistently be at least 19 higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium You may have to pay this higher premium penalty as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage In addition you may have to wait until the following October to join What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan If you decide to join a
