I just started on Medicare this month and what you've explained (and other posters) sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. I worked for the State of New York and where $100 was deducted from my SS payment, $99.90 was credited to my retirement payment. No changes in my coverage except for as you describe... Medicare is primary then my NYSHIP/Empire Plan takes care of the rest. I don't know why there is a $0.10 difference between the Fed charge and the State credit, but I ain't about to complain over the dime it's costing me for the coverage.
