Is Your Medicare Starting Soon?
For most people turning 65, their Medicare Part A (Hospital) starts automatically. Medicare Part B (outpatient), on the other hand may not start automatically when turning 65. If you are not going to start you S.S. income at age 65, or if you are on an employer health insurance plan, you will most likely need to enroll in Part B.
To confirm your “B” coverage starts when you want it to, go to the Social Security Admin website, https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare/, create a profile and enroll in Part B. Or, call S.S.A at; 800-772-1213, or, walk into a local Social Security office and tell them you want to start your Medicare Part B.
Once you have confirmation your Medicare A and B have a start date, enrolling in any of the Medicare plans (Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage or Part D Rx plan) is simple and quick. Call me anytime, I’ll be happy to walk you through the process.
