Effectively, yes. Even if you have other health insurance, Medicare requires that they become the first payer, and your other insurance becomes secondary. It is possible, but cost-prohibitive, to decline Medicare coverage.

If you are not on Social Security do they still put you on Medicare at age 65?
Medicare is a separate program from Social Security, and yes, you should enroll at age 65 even if you are still working and not yet drawing retirement benefits.Please note that enrollment is not automatic; you have to sign up for Medicare either online, by mail or at your local Social Security field office.You are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as you become eligible because you may have to pay a higher monthly premium if you wait too long.Additional Information Per DiscussionIf a person is already receiving Social Security benefits (which the question clearly states is not the case), enrollment in Medicare Part A (hospitalization insurance) typically would be automatic.When a person becomes eligible for Medicare at age 65, but is not yet retired, he or she has to make an active choice to enroll in Medicare. The enrollment period begins three months before the month of the person's 65th birthday and continues for 3 months afterward. If the person neglects to enroll during the seven-month window, he or she has to wait for a future general enrollment period (January-March) to join.All Medicare Part A recipients have a choice whether to enroll in Medicare Part B (doctors' visits and outpatient) or C (Advantage comprehensive plans), or opt out due to alternate coverage (or for whatever reason). If the person doesn't intentionally sign up, the default would be to opt out.People who sign up for Part B prior to retirement receive a bill for premiums.Medicare Part D (prescription drug) coverage is available after retirement. If you are on Medicare Part A or Part B, you can buy a Part D policy at retirement or later, during an open-enrollment period (November-December). Delayed enrollment may result in higher premiums.People with Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) often receive drug coverage through their Advantage plans.Medicare Part A (hospital coverage) is available "free" because we pay for it in advance through FICA contributions during our working years. Nevertheless, a person who is not receiving Social Security retirement benefits must still enroll in Part A, even though there is no cost of enrollment.As stated above, Medicare Part B or C, if elected, is billed to the recipient. The premiums can be deducted automatically from cash retirement benefits only after the person retires.For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
