    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.
