If you are age 65 and receiving Social Security benefits, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare. Otherwise, you can go to medicare.gov to read how to apply for Medicare in Texas. You will be walked through the instructions step by step and be able to apply online, if you like. You can also go to a local Texas Social Security office to apply for Medicare.
You can also go to the website for the Social Security Administration at www.SSA.gov for information and to sign up. One important thing to remember when signing up for Medicare in Texas is that you have a one time open enrollment period when you first sign up for Medicare Part B. This means there are no health underwriting questions and you can select any Medicare Supplement plan available. Medicare Part A & B only covers about 80% of your medical costs. The Medicare Supplement is designed to cover the remaining 20% or some variation depending on what plan you go with.
