I am not an agent.
Is he eligible for treatment and medication at VA?
If he didn't take Part B because he couldn't afford the premium, what changes now when he has to afford the Part B premium plus a late charge?

Does he have medicaid ? He needs to have at least partial medicaid to get his part b for free. If he doesn’t have apply for Medicaid for him . Once he gets his part B will be free . Thats when you apply for part B

He's dual-eligible so he doesn't pay the part b premium

Medicaid will typically pay the Part B premium, but may or may not cover the Part B late enrollment penalty depending on state-level rules. He will have an LEP because VA is only considered creditable coverage on Part D and not Part B.

Thank you! Yes he is Medicaid eligible. Thanks for your help.
I’ve never heard of a part B Lep not paid by the state if they qualify for Medicaid . I work 5 states and not seen that . What states won’t pay the Lep when the person has Medicaid?
