Quick intro to the Medicare Giveback plan by Zip Code


Most people pay Social Security a monthly premium for Part B, doctor costs.


This is either deducted from Social Security or comes via a bill.


The average amount now (changes every year) is around $202 but it can go up or down depending on prior income.


The Giveback plans are Advantage plans that have an add-on benefit in which your Part B premium can be reduced by a certain amount.


The amount differs by plan and we'll look at this below to see how to pick the right amount for your situation.


You can't get more than what your Part B premium is. For example, if you pay $80/month and choose a plan with a $100 rebate benefit, you'll only get the $80.


There are other considerations of course on what plan to choose that are equally important which we'll cover next section.


Essentially, your Social Security will be higher by the giveback amount!

How to compare Medicare giveback plans by Zip Code


Here's our Top tips for comparing Giveback plans:


  • First, consider the giveback amount relative to how much you pay monthly
  • Enter your doctors and hospitals to make sure they're in network
  • Enter your medications and dosages to take into account those costs
  • Enter your preferred pharmacy
  • Sort by "Total Estimated Cost"

Next, we need to really lean on the Star Rating which tells us how happy members are with the plan.


Aim for 4 stars or higher. 3 is not going to feel great day-to-day and each � star is a pretty big deal.


Remember...this is health insurance! It needs to function well on that front and the Giveback money is just a bonus.


We go deep into a walk-through of the giveback comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions
▸ What is a Medicare Giveback plan?
A Medicare Giveback plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan that reduces your monthly Part B premium by returning a portion of it to you. The benefit amount and availability vary by carrier and location, so not every plan in every area offers this feature.
▸ Are Medicare Giveback plans available in every California zip code?
While Giveback plans are technically permitted in any zip code, carriers choose which counties to offer them in - so availability varies across California. To see which plans are available where you live, it's best to get a Medicare quote by zip code.
▸ How do I compare Medicare Giveback plans by zip code?
You can compare available plans by entering your zip code into a Medicare quoting tool, which filters results to your specific county and shows Part B reduction amounts side by side. Because plan availability changes each year, always verify current offerings before enrolling.
▸ Does choosing a Giveback plan affect my other Medicare benefits?
Giveback plans are Medicare Advantage plans, so they use carrier networks and may have different cost-sharing than Original Medicare. It's important to weigh the Part B premium reduction against network restrictions, copays, and other plan details before enrolling.
▸ Is there a cost to use CalHealth.net to find a Medicare Giveback plan?
No - help from CalHealth.net is completely free to you. You pay the same premium as going directly to the carrier, and licensed agents (serving all of California statewide) handle the comparison and enrollment process at no charge.
The answers above are general information about California health insurance and may change as rates, plans, and rules are updated each year. They are not a substitute for personalized advice.
