Medicare coverage starts two years after you have been DISABLED. That is the medical end of your coverage. Payments can take up to a year to start, then they deduct 5 months off of that. All payments are retroactive to the date of disabilty. However, you will not be covered as far as medical goes until you have reached the 24 moths of being diabled. That is a fact.

What you Should Know About Medicare Health Insurance?
Over 40 million Americans are covered by Medicare, the largest health insurance in the US. If you are 65 years and older or if you are younger with certain disabilities, you may be eligible for Medicare health insurance. However, if you have end stage renal disease which involves permanent kidney failure and require a kidney transplant or dialysis treatment, you may qualify for health insurance covered by Medicare, regardless of your age. The Medicare health plan covers two main areas, Hospital Insurance which is Part A and Medical Insurance, known as Part B. Both Medicare Parts are referred to as the Original Medicare Insurance and while most people who worked and contributed to Medicare taxes do not pay for Part A, the majority of persons covered by Medicare pay a monthly fee for the Part B. Hospital Insurance helps to provide coverage for part-time skilled nursing facilities, hospice and home health care services. Hospital inpatient care is also included, which involves hospitals that provide long-term care, critical access and rehabilitation facilities. Medical Insurance helps with the coverage for outpatient care and treatment by doctors as well as some preventative services. Once the services are covered by Medicare, Part B will pay 80% of the approved amount. Other health insurance programs covered by Medicare are managed by Medicare approved private companies. They are Part C, also called Medicare Advantage and Part D, which is Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage. Both of these plans include Parts A and B along with other benefits and for Part C, payment of a monthly premium is required. As a Medicare beneficiary, you have two choices of how you can get the senior health insurance. One method is to start with Part A and B (Original Medicare) and add Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) as well as a Supplemental Coverage such as Medigap. The other choice is to start with Medicare Advantage (Part C) and then add the Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D). However, you would not be able to add a Supplemental Insurance with this latter choice. If you need clarification or information about Medicare health insurance, contact the Social Security Administration or the medicare.gov website.

How do you determine if Medicare primary or secondary?
In searching for an answer to the this question,google'd for "Medicare Secondary Payer provision;"this website question was one of the top. hit'safter researching found the following: I called Medicare and asked them.Medicare told me that since my spouse,who is not working, is eligible for medicare and is currently covered by my insurance that Medicare would be secondary. Also in looking thru documentation on the internet it looks to me as if what Medicare told me on the phone is correct that My Primary Insurance would still be primary Insurer and Medicare would be secondary. Extracted and underlined relevant information from links below is my understanding of Medicare as Secondary "Medicare benefits are secondary payer to large group health plans (LGHP) for individuals under age 65 entitled to Medicare on the basis of disability and whose LGHP coverage is based on the individual s current employment status or the current employment status of a family member. Under the law, a LGHP may not "take into account" that such an individual is eligible for, or receives, Medicare benefits based on disability" Also some companies are starting to charge employee extra for coverage of spouse if the employee's spouse can get insurance thru her employment or disability. Let's call it "Spouse Extra Charge".To the point of the "Spouse Extra Charge", my spouse is not employed and according to above in purple should be eligible for the "Spouse Extra Charge" waiver and not charged the "Spouse Extra Charge".google"employers charging extra for Health Insurance for Spouse"Some companies are charging from $10 to $110 extra a month to the premium for adding spouse if spouse can get insurance at their own employment.Links are below for medicare primary or secondary I found the following at ssa.govhttp://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/wi/medicare.htmpart of link below at A and from theMedicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Manual http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/downloads/msp105c01.pdfpart of link below at B A start of excerpt from http://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/wi/medicare.htmCoordination of Medicare and Other Coverage for Working Beneficiaries with Disabilities Question: I am under age 65, disabled, working and have both Medicare and group health coverage. Who pays first? Answer: It depends. If your employer has less than 100 employees, Medicare is the primary payer if: * you are under age 65, and * have Medicare because of a disability. If the employer has 100 employees or more, the health plan is called a large group health plan. If you are covered by a large group health plan because of your current employment or the current employment of a family member, Medicare is the secondary payer (see example below). Sometimes employers with fewer than 100 employees join other employers in a multi-employer plan. If at least one employer in the multi-employer plan has 100 employees or more, then Medicare is the secondary payer for disabled Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in the plan, including those covered by small employers. Some large group health plans let others join the plan, such as a self-employed person, a business associate of an employer, or a family member of one of these people. A large group health plan cannot treat any of its plan members differently because they are disabled and have Medicare. A large group health plan must offer the same benefits to plan members and their spouses that are over 65 and disabled as are offered to employees and their spouses under 65. Example: Mary works full-time for GHI Company, which has 120 employees. She has large group health plan coverage for herself and her husband. Her husband has Medicare because of a disability. Therefore, Mary's group health plan coverage pays first for Mary's husband, and Medicare is his secondary payer.
