    Most people will be automatically sent a card when reaching the age of 65.  If for any reason you do not have your card by your birth month make sure you call Medicare or Social Security.  You will be given an option to opt out of Part B.  Do not do so unless you have creditable group coverage through your spouses employer.

    Medicare will not contact you but about 6 months before you turn 65 you will receive a "Welcome to Medicare" kit. Included in your package is your Medicare card, general information on Medicare and your Medicare and You handbook. I suggest you read through all the material, especially the handbook and make copious notes. Then prepare for the deluge of mail and phone calls as you approach age 65
