IRMAACP™ for Retirement Planners

Medicare costs are a retirement income variable. Plan for them.

Retirement planners who ignore IRMAA are building income plans with a blind spot. For clients with income above the initial threshold, Medicare premiums can cost tens of thousands of dollars more over retirement than basic estimates account for. The IRMAACP™ gives you the framework to model, minimize, and manage that cost as part of every retirement income plan.
