How old do you have to be to get Medicare?

Assuming that you have paid Medicare payroll taxes, then you are eligible to join Medicare when you turn 65. You can become covered by Medicare before age 65, if you are considered disabled by Social Security.

What does an eligible individual have to do to receive medicare part b?

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.

Receiving Help?

As you get older, one of the things that you need to start thinking about is how you are going to pay for any hospital bills or doctor appointments. Medicare is a government program that anyone over 65 can enroll in. The program covers a long list of expenses, and it is important to know how much you will pay for your deductible and if you need a supplemental insurance. Medicare is not free. There is a monthly fee that you will need to pay to have the coverage, but it will automatically come out of your social security check. This amount is roughly $100 per person. There are two parts to Medicare. Part A covers any hospital expenses that you might incur, and Part B covers any visits to the doctor or other outpatient services. There is a Part D plan that you can enroll in. this part of the program covers any prescriptions that you might need. You will be able to choose which prescription coverage you want. Some companies have deductibles, and some of them do not require any payment in order to get prescription help. You need to enroll in the prescription plan that you would like by a certain date, or you will be automatically enrolled in a program by the social security administration. If you are concerned about how you are going to pay for your monthly Medicare payment, there is something you can do. If your income meets certain requirements, you might be eligible for Medicaid. This will cover your Medicare deductible. You can also get extra help with medications if you are approved for Medicaid. You have to be a United States citizen in order to receive Medicare. People who are disabled and under the age of 65 are eligible to receive Medicare. If you are in renal failure, then you would be eligible for Medicare as well. Contact your local social security office to find out more information on enrolling.

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). See the entire book here: http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf


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.
