    OT: where to stay the night in the greater Chicago area on the way to Minnesota?

    Schaumburg is a good call, right off 90.

    AKB: Medicare IRMAA Fees

    I'm 99% sure that IRMAA changes yearly (my business is Medicare) so if your tax returns reflect less income it should adjust or drop off. I've been wrong before, but pretty sure I'm not on this one :) For context: I manage about 5B in large Medicare health plans and deal w this stuff daily...

    AKB: Medicare IRMAA Fees

    Generally CMS will re-evaluate your IRMAA standing on a yearly basis. IIRC they use the tax return from two years prior, so it sounds like your IRMAA will either decrease or drop off. It should happen automatically, but it can't hurt to call them and open a case if you don't see it happen right...
