When you are 65 and get on Medicare can your wife also be on Medicare even if she is not 65?
One thing to remember about Medicare is that it is an individual plan. If you are on Medicare due to disability, that is your Medicare plan alone and your spouse would need to qualify on her own. Unless she has certain disabilities, your spouse would need to be turning 65 to qualify for Medicare.

Recently married do you have to notify medicare to continue medicare insurance?
One has to notify Medicare when one gets married, but I am not sure if it is to continue coverage or add your partner to your benefits, or get your partners income level added to yours as income coming in. One has to notify Medicare if you sneeze!! Medicare plans are written on individuals. If your spouse needs Medicare, your spouse would first qualify on their own and then be on their own plan by themselves, not added to your plan. Your income does not effect your eligibility for Medicare, it only effects the premium that you pay for Medicare Part B. If you need to know whether or not your spouse qualifies for Medicare, this is taken directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book pertaining to qualifying for Medicare: Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, under age 65 with certain disabilities, and any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).
