Can Medicare premiums be paid by HSA?

[SpringbokOR]

1) Can I pay Medicare part B premiums from an HSA:
    a) When they are deducted from my wife's SS payment?
    b) When I don't receive SS and pay them myself?
2) Can I pay Medicare Advantage premiums from an HSA?

Yes.  For those over age 65, premiums for Medicare Part A or B, Medicare HMO's, and employee premiums for employer sponsored health insurance can be paid from an HSA. But you cannot use HSA funds to pay Medigap premiums (Medicare supplement policies).
