This guide will help you navigate the process of making your initial Medicare Part B quarterly payment and setting up autopay through Easy Pay with your benefitbay® ARC account.
Please Note: The graphics below come from the Medicare website and might update at different times, so they may not look exactly the same as shown here.
Important: You will NOT use a personal form of payment when paying your Medicare Part B premium. You will use the Advanced Reimbursement Checking (ARC) account information found in your benefitbay® wallet. This is the personal checking account your employer funds to pay for your insurance premium(s).
Step 1: Get Your Advanced Reimbursement Checking (ARC) Account Information
- If you've logged in before, use your existing email and password.
- If you haven’t, click "Forgot my password" to reset it.
- Navigate to the Wallet tab.
- Here, you’ll find your assigned Advanced Reimbursement Checking (ARC) account number and routing number.
- You can also download a voided check if needed.
Step 2: Make a Payment and Set Up AutoPay
Visit www.mymedicare.gov and log in using your username and password.
- If you do not have an account yet, please select “create an account now” to get started.
- It is important to save your login information, as your profile contains valuable resources that you may want to revisit in the future.
- Next, choose the “Pay my premium” option to proceed.
- In the “My premiums” section, you can review your current monthly premium for Medicare Part B, including any Part B and Part D IRMAA charges, your current and past bills and your payment history.
If you have recently enrolled in Medicare, it is possible that your information has not yet appeared in the system. This is a normal occurrence and should not cause concern.
- If this is your initial payment, please select the "pay now" option to complete a one-time quarterly payment using the ARC account from your benefitbay® wallet. This step will ensure your account is up to date and provide sufficient time for your autopay to be processed, which may take approximately 6-8 weeks.
- To setup recurring payments through Medicare Easy Pay online, simply locate and click the “Sign Up” button or select "set up recurring payments now".
- You will be directed to the form for Medicare Easy Pay. Please take a moment to accurately input your ARC routing number and account number from your benefitbay® wallet. Once you have entered the information, ensure that you check the box to confirm your details, and then click “Submit” to finalize the registration process.
Reminder: Do NOT use a personal form of payment. You will use the Advanced Reimbursement Checking (ARC) account information found in your benefitbay® wallet.
- If you are currently enrolled in Medicare Easy Pay using your personal checking account, simply select the "Change Bank Account" option to update your payment method to your benefitbay® ARC account.
