How do I apply for Medicare?

Determine your eligibility: You may be eligible for Medicare if you are 65 years of age or older, or if you have a disability or end-stage renal disease. You can check your eligibility online at the Social Security Administration’s website.

Choose your coverage: Decide which parts of Medicare you want to enroll in, such as Part A, Part B, and/or Part D (prescription drug coverage). You may also want to consider whether you want a Medicare Supplement plan, or a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Apply for Medicare: You can apply for Medicare online at the Social Security Administration’s website, by phone, or in person at a Social Security office. If you are already receiving Social Security benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Parts A and B when you become eligible.

Provide necessary information: When you apply, you will need to provide personal information such as your Social Security number, date of birth, and employment history. You may also need to provide information about your current health insurance coverage.

Wait for confirmation: After you apply, you will receive confirmation of your enrollment in Medicare. This may take a few weeks to process, so it's important to apply well before you need your coverage to begin.

Medicare Part A

Medicare Part A provides coverage for hospital care. It is free for most people who have paid into the Medicare system through payroll taxes for at least 10 years. However, there may be certain out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance, depending on the type of service received.

Medicare Part B

Medicare Part B provides coverage for doctor's services, outpatient care, preventive services, and medically necessary durable medical equipment. Unlike Part A, Medicare Part B requires a monthly premium payment, which may be adjusted based on a person's income. In addition to the premium, there may be other out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance, depending on the specific service received.

Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, and each plan has its own list of covered drugs, known as a formulary. Like other parts of Medicare, there may be a monthly premium for Part D coverage, and there may be other out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance.
