You will be charged a penalty.

Anyone who does not have Medicare Part A and/or Part B cannot enroll in a standalone Part d plan. or; If you have enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, other than a PFFS plan you cannot enroll in a stand alone part d plan. or; If you are outside the enrollment periods of November 15th - December 31st of each year you cannot enroll without a special election period.
Yes, because there will probably be a penalty for late enrollment, and your employer's health insurance will probably require you to enroll in Medicare.
During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Medicare Part A (hospitalization). When you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare, you can choose to enroll in Part B (medical/doctor's office). The premium for Part B for 2009 is $96.40 per month (if you make less than $85,000.00 per year) which is automatically deducted from your Social Security check.
The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) provided for a special enrollment period for Medicare Part B for TRICARE beneficiaries who have Medicare Part A. If you have Medicare Part A (which generally pays for hospital care) and don't have Medicare Part B (which generally pays for doctor visits) you may be able to enroll in Part B without paying a late enrollment penalty.

As part of the Medicare Patient Bill of Rights, Medicare patients have the right to be treated fairly with courtesy and ________________________
If you begin taking Social Security at age 62 you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B when you turn 65 if you are eligible. Otherwise, you should contact 1-800-MEDICARE to confirm you desire to start your benefits at age 65 or later, depending on your circumstances.
Usually your private plan will expect you to enroll in SMIB.
You have a choice to stay in your employer's plan or join Medicare. When you do stop working and lose your group health plan, make sure you enroll in Medicare within 8 months. You could also enroll in Medicare Part A (hospital coverage), and postpone enrolling in Part B (physician coverage) until you are done with your group health plan. Part A does not cost you a monthly premium. You would be over-insured, but the Part A benefit is available to you at age 65, whether you have other coverage or not.
To be eligible for Medicare under the age of 65 you need to be disabled for a consecutive 24 months. On the 25 month of disability you will get Medicare Part A and be eligible to enroll in Part B. At any age, if you are diagnosed with ESRD (end stage renal disease) you will receive Medicare benefits. At any age, if you are diagnised with Lou Gehrig's disease you will receive Medicare benefits.
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.
