Lots of people that are still working (or spouse is) and have group insurance that is primary with Medicare secondary will delay starting Part B because paying the Part B premium of $96.40 is usually not worth it for the small amount of coverage that it would provide. It is best to talk with your company's HR department for advice

I dont believe you can... part b is automatically taken out of your SSA check, you need to be retired or on disability to be on medicare and this is b/c you need to be drawing a check to pay for it. 8006334227 is medicare number call them to be 100% sure You don't need to be retired/on disability for Medicare. You qualify for Medicare at age 65 with at least 40 quarters of Medicare contributions (through employment).

Yes; by definition, Medicare supplemental insurance "supplements" Medicare A & B.

Can you buy Medicare supplemental insurance if you have Medicare carve out coverage?
Please explain your question more thoroughly if my answer does not suffice. I am unsure of what you mean by Medicare Carve Out Coverage. You can buy a Medicare Supplement at any time once you have received your Medicare Part A and Part B. If you do not enroll within 6 months of your Part B effective date you would be subject to underwriting. You can not join a Medicare Supplement if you already have a Medicare Advantage Plan as this is not allowed by Centers for Medicare. You would be required to drop your Medicare Advantage Plan prior to the Medicare Supplement effective date. If you had coverage through an employer, you would not need Medicare Supplement coverage as your employer coverage would be primary and then Medicare would be secondary for your out-of-pocket costs covered by Medicare.
Do you have to have medicare B in order to get medicare D?
No, you only have EITHER Part A of Medicare OR Part B of Medicare to get Part D. It is not necessary to have both parts to get D. This is completely incorrect according to the Social Security Adm. (This is where you have to sign up for Medicare). I was told this information 9-24-10.
