You will automatically be enrolled in Medicare when you reach the age of 65, so you do not need to do anything. If you keep your private insurance, it will become supplemental and cover what Medicare does not.

Is there Medicare in Ireland?
The government provides some assistance and schemes for people with health problems in Ireland and many people also have health insurance. Some healthcare has to be paid for and some doesn't and is covered by the government. Public healthcare can take longer to access than private, which is why many people will pay extra for private care and get insurance.

How would doctor know if you have Medicare or Medicare Advantage?
If you have Original Medicare only, then you would provide your doctor with a copy of your Original Medicare card so that he/she has the correct information to bill Medicare. If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage with a private insurance company, they will issue you an ID card indicating the name of your plan and your ID number. You would no longer show your Original Medicare card to your doctor, but instead show him your Medicare Advantage ID Card. Medicare would have assigned the right to administer your benefits over to the private company and they would no longer process claims they might receive from your doctor. Your new ID card will provide information on where to bill for services rendered. Keep in mind that most Medicare Advantage Plans require you to use network doctors so you should make sure your doctor is within the network your looking to join before you enroll. Otherwise you would most likely be responsible for the entire bill.

Who pays first if you have medicare and are retired hourly from General Motors?
Chances are Medicare would pay first as long as you are no longer working, or if your spouse does not have you covered under insurance through their employer. If your spouse IS working and you do have coverage through them, the group insurance would be primary if their employer has more then 100 employees working for them. Otherwise, Medicare will be primary.
Who pays for hospice?
In the US, hospices are paid in the same manner as hospitals, nursing homes, and home care.Depending on the patient's or family's type of insurance and financial ability to self-pay, healthcare first would use in this order: Self-pay, then Private Insurance, then Federal Medicare, then State Medicaid. IF one of these is not available (for example, the patient has no ability to pay), it skips to the next source in the list. There may be co-pays for Private Insurance, Federal Medicare, or State Medicare; co-pays vary by State and by income. The patient or patient's family are required to pay the co-pays. Also, under State Medicaid, a family may be required to sign over the patient's assets (example: their home).
Can you consider your retirement insurance primary because you've held it longer and it has better coverage or must your current employer's insurance be primary?

Are retirement benefits the same as life ins on an estate?
Retirement Benefits after Death?NO. Retirement benefits cease once a person dies and therefore would not be part of an estate. When a person Dies, they are no longer considered "Retired", They are after death considered "Expired".Life insurance also is not part of an estate unless there is no named beneficiary. The proceeds of a life insurance policy belong to the beneficiary named on the policy, Not to the deceased nor to the deceased estate.
