Mr. Hutchinson has drug coverage through his former employer’s retiree plan. He is concerned about the Part D premium penalty if he does not enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, but does not want to purchase extra coverage that he will not need. What should you tell him?

He will need to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan upon becoming eligible for the program in order to avoid a premium penalty. To reduce his expenses, he should look for a plan with a zero premium.
