Most people will be enrolled in Medicare automatically at age 65.
You can qualify at a younger age if you meet the definition of Social Security disability and have been disabled and receiving disability benefits for 2 years.
You can delay Medicare Part B if you are covered through an employer group health insurance plan.
Unless you have end stage renal disease or are eligible to get Disability benefits through Medicare, you must be 65 years old to receive Medicare benefits. Even if you retire under age 65 and opt to receive reduced Social Security income, you cannot receive Medicare benefits until you turn 65.
