Yes, you can obtain benefits from Humana even if you are not yet eligible for Medicare. Humana offers a variety of health insurance plans for individuals under 65, including individual and family plans, short-term medical coverage, and dental and vision plans.

Generally, Medicare is available for people age 65 or older, younger people with disabilities and people with End Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant). Medicare has two parts, Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medicare Insurance). You are eligible for premium-free Part A if you are age 65 or older and you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. You can get Part A at age 65 without having to pay premiums if: You are receiving retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board. You are eligible to receive Social Security or Railroad benefits but you have not yet filed for them. You or your spouse had Medicare-covered government employment. If you (or your spouse) did not pay Medicare taxes while you worked, and you are age 65 or older and a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you may be able to buy Part A. If you are under age 65, you can get Part A without having to pay premiums if: You have been entitled to Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits for 24 months. (Note: If you have Lou Gehrig's disease, your Medicare benefits begin the first month you get disability benefits.) You are a kidney dialysis or kidney transplant patient. While most people do not have to pay a premium for Part A, everyone must pay for Part B if they want it. This monthly premium is deducted from your Social Security, Railroad Retirement, or Civil Service Retirement check. If you do not get any of these payments, Medicare sends you a bill for your Part B premium every 3 months.
IF you are already using medical benefits from the VA then the date you were accepted will be on a form you filled out in order to enroll in that clinic. If you haven't yet applied then you became eligible for service the moment you became a veteran.
Everyone who pays any type of federal tax pays for medicare- Therefore, anyone who pays no federal taxes, does not pay for medicare. CORRECTION: Medicare is funded by a payroll tax, paid by employers and employees, and by insurance premiums. It is not funded by income taxes or other sources. Therefore, persons who are not yet Medicare eligible or who are unemployed and those few who are employed but do not pay Medicare payroll taxes do not pay for Medicare.

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.

No, I'm checking on the CA State Law, but haven't found it yet. Here's the research I found so far. From Blue Cross Administrators Manual Medicare is the primary payor for employees age 65 or older in employer groups with less than 20 employees When a group has fewer than 20 employees, Blue Cross is considered the secondary payor to Medicare and does not duplicate benefits that might be available under Medicare. This is from Blue Cross of CA FAQ's What is Coordination of Benefits (COB)? A43.Coordination of Benefits (COB) is a provision to coordinate 100% of covered charges between multiple group health insurance and to designate the order in which the multiple carriers are to pay benefits. Under a COB provision, one Plan is determined to be primary and its benefits are applied to the claim. Part or all of the unpaid balance is usually paid by the secondary Plan to the limit of its liability. The coordination provisions apply separately to each member, per calendar year, and are largely determined by California law.
