For most people, Medicare Part A will come automatically on the 1st day of the month you turn age 65. However, it is a good idea to go to the Social Security website at SSA.gov/medicare/ or visit your local Social Security office to make sure. You should contact them 3 months prior to turning 65. You will also want to sign up for Part B at the same time. If you are still working and on a group plan, your company may still offer benefits and you could delay your Part B.
Medicare Part A & B do not cover all your medical expenses. A lot of people get a Medicare Supplement plan to cover the difference. With the right Medicare Supplement plan you could have very little out of pocket expenses. A independent agent that specializes in Medicare can be a big help in finding that plan that will best suit your needs.
