Medicare forms may also be used on a yearly bases, during Medicare open enrollment periods. These Medicare forms will list the coverage currently held by a beneficiary, as well as any other options that are available to them.  Medicare open enrollment forms will also list the premiums for each type of service, including part B coverage.That premium will vary according to several factors, including the length of time that the individual paid into social security through payroll taxes.
