Medicare options in Hampton Township, Allegheny County
Hampton Township sits in the affluent North Hills corridor near Fox Chapel — higher incomes, longer-tenured careers, and often more complex financial pictures heading into retirement. Medicare looks different when you have a higher-income household: IRMAA surcharges, coordination with retirement accounts, and the question of whether Medicare Supplement fits better than Medicare Advantage.
UPMC Passavant is the anchor hospital for this area. Most Hampton residents have strong UPMC relationships — but confirming your specific physicians are in the right network tier on a Medicare plan is a step that often gets skipped.

IRMAA affects higher-income Medicare enrollees — and it's often a surprise If your modified adjusted gross income exceeded certain thresholds two years prior, you pay higher Part B and Part D premiums via Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) surcharges. This affects plan cost comparisons and should be factored into any Medicare budget conversation.
UPMC Passavant is convenient — but network tier matters, not just inclusion UPMC Passavant and affiliated North Hills providers participate in several Medicare Advantage plans. But being in-network and being at the preferred cost tier are different things. A plan where Passavant is a Tier 1 facility costs less per visit than one where it is a standard in-network facility.
Medigap Plan G deserves serious consideration in higher-income households Medicare Supplement Plan G eliminates most out-of-pocket risk in exchange for a monthly premium. For Hampton Township residents with higher retirement income and a preference for predictability and freedom of provider choice, this structure often makes more financial sense than Medicare Advantage.

Common questions about Medicare in Hampton Township, PA
What is IRMAA and how does it affect my Medicare costs?
IRMAA is a Medicare income surcharge applied to your Part B and Part D premiums if your income exceeds certain thresholds. It is based on your tax return from two years prior. In 2025, surcharges begin at incomes above $106,000 (individual) or $212,000 (joint). Planning for this is part of a thorough Medicare review.
Does Sergio work with financial advisors and CPAs on Medicare coordination?
Sergio focuses on the Medicare insurance side — plan selection, coverage, and enrollment. For IRMAA appeals, Roth conversion strategies to reduce Medicare premiums, or HSA coordination, working alongside a financial advisor or CPA is often valuable. Sergio can help identify when those conversations are warranted.
Is UPMC Passavant covered under Medicare Advantage plans in Hampton Township?
UPMC Passavant participates in multiple Medicare Advantage plans in Allegheny County. Network tier and cost-sharing details vary by plan. A provider-directory check during your review confirms the specifics.
How does Medicare Supplement Plan G work?
Plan G covers the Part A deductible, all Part A and Part B coinsurance, skilled nursing coinsurance, and foreign travel emergency coverage. You pay the annual Part B deductible ($257 in 2025) and your monthly Plan G premium — that's it. No networks, no referrals needed.
Can I still contribute to an HSA after enrolling in Medicare?
No. Once you enroll in any part of Medicare (including Part A), you can no longer contribute to a Health Savings Account. If you plan to continue HSA contributions past 65, coordinating your Medicare enrollment timing is important.
