Portrait of Dennis Hartwell

Why Dennis cares about IRMAA

When Dennis’s grandmother received an unexpected Medicare surcharge, he sat down with her notice and tax return to understand why. Later, he helped his father navigate an SSA-44 request after retirement. Those experiences taught him how confusing the rules can feel, even to someone who works with Medicare data.

“Most people who pay IRMAA didn’t get rich. They got surprised.”

— Dennis Hartwell

Clear boundaries, practical help
