How can RWHAP clients opt out of Medicare premium payment auto-deductions from Social Security payments?

It is very challenging for third party payors, such as RWHAP and ADAP, to pay for clients’ Medicare premiums after the premium amount has been automatically deducted from the client’s Social Security payment. As a result, for the vast majority of clients, this is not a cost that RWHAP and ADAP can pay due to the inability to coordinate with the Social Security Administration, even though it is an allowable cost that RWHAPs can pay for. This is a known issue that many RWHAPs across the country struggle with.
