The County of Los Angeles reimburses members and/or their eligible dependents for their Medicare Part B premiums (standard rate only) on a tax-free basis provided they meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Enrolled in the LACERA-administered Medicare Supplement Plan – Anthem Blue Cross Plan III or a LACERA-administered Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan (MA-PD) such as CIGNA Medicare Select Plus Rx (Phoenix, Arizona), Kaiser Senior Advantage, Secure Horizons, or SCAN.
• Paying for their Medicare Part B premium themselves.
• They are not being reimbursed for their Medicare Part B Premium by another agency, such as another employer or state.

For most Medicare enrollees, Medicare Part B 2012 premium rates (standard rates) are $99.90 for one party and $199.80 for two parties.
