    Most people will sign up for Medicare Part B when they turn age 65. If you are covered under an employers group health insurance plan, there is no need for you to sign up for Part B. You should wait until that coverage is ending and apply for Medicare Part B at that time.

    When you qualify for Medicare you are usually automatically signed up for part B.  You will receive a letter from Medicare allowing you to opt out.  Unless you are still covered under a group plan or other creditable coverage, do not opt out.  You will be penalized by Medicare each year you do not enroll in Part B, which could cost you a lot of money over the years.
