If your monthly Social Security benefit isn't enough to cover multiple premium payments at one time, the premiums won't be deducted. Your plan will bill you directly and you can pay them directly. You also can arrange with your plan for the premiums
If the Social Security Administration withheld the premium, Social Security will refund your premium. You should get this refund as an individual payment, separate from your regular monthly benefit, within six weeks after enrolling in a new plan.

What happens if I change plans and request automatic premium deductions from my Social Security benefits for my new plan, but the premium deduction from my previous plan doesn’t stop?
Social Security cannot process your request for automatic premium deduction for your new plan until the premium deduction for your previous plan is stopped. The request from your new plan will be rejected if the previous premium deduction hasn't been stopped first. Your plan will need to contact Medicare so they can find out why the new action won't take effect

I believe that I have signed up for automatic withholding, but I have received a notice from my plan that I still owe premiums. What should I do?
Contact your plan to verify what your record shows about your method of payment. If your Social Security premium withhold hasn't been set up already, and you still want Social Security to withhold premiums, you may need to pay the first few months of your premium directly to your plan. Your plan also can help you start to withhold premiums for the future.

I am eligible for the “extra help” with prescription drug costs or limited-income subsidy, but my plan is billing me for a premium. What should I do?
Contact your plan. The plan can check and make sure that your record correctly shows you should get extra help. Some people with incomes over a certain amount still pay reduced premiums. In these cases, you must apply for the extra help (it isn't automatic) and Medicare can help you enroll in a plan that works for you. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder on this website for more information about extra help with your prescription drug costs.
