For anything factual — premiums, deductibles, IRMAA brackets, drug caps, enrollment windows, penalties — we use primary, official sources only:
- Medicare.gov — The official U.S. government Medicare site
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) — Sets the annual figures
- Social Security Administration (SSA) — Part B premiums, IRMAA & enrollment
- The IRS — Income (MAGI) rules that drive IRMAA
