Lee's Summit has become one of the Kansas City metro area's premier communities for retirees — combining strong schools, beautiful parks, low cost of living, and excellent healthcare access through St. Luke's East. With a population approaching 107,000 and one of the highest median household incomes in the metro at over $102,000, Lee's Summit residents often have more complex Medicare decisions: IRMAA income considerations, employer coverage transitions from high-earning careers, and long-term planning for comprehensive coverage. I help Lee's Summit families navigate all of it at no charge.

IRMAA is a Medicare surcharge for higher-income beneficiaries. In 2026, IRMAA kicks in for individuals with income above $109,000 (or $218,000 for married couples filing jointly), based on your 2024 tax return. Given Lee's Summit's high median household income, this affects more residents here than in most Missouri communities. If your income dropped significantly at retirement, you can appeal your IRMAA determination using SSA Form SSA-44.
