We’ll also provide some resources for those who need help with their Medicare enrollment. So read on to learn when and how to enroll in Medicare as well as what plans are available!
When Should You Enroll In Medicare?
You should enroll in Medicare when you turn 65 years old. If you’re already receiving Social Security benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B. If you’re not receiving Social Security benefits, you’ll need to manually sign up for Medicare through the Social Security Administration website or by calling their office at 1-800-772-1213.
You can also enroll in Medicare before you turn 65 if you’re disabled or have End-Stage Renal Disease. If you’re not sure whether or not you qualify for Medicare, you can use the Social Security Administration’s online screening tool to find out.
How To Choose The Right Health Care Plans
Medicare offers four different parts: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. Each part is responsible for different aspects of your health care needs.
Part A covers of inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and home health care.
Part B covers doctor’s visits, outpatient procedures, durable medical equipment, and some preventive services.
Part C is also known as Medicare Advantage. This part of Medicare gives you the option to receive your benefits through a private insurance company instead of through the government.
Part D covers prescription drugs.
You can enroll in any combination of these parts that you need. For example, if you only want coverage for doctor’s visits and prescription drugs, you would enroll in Medicare Part A, B and Part D. Or, if you want coverage for all of your health care needs, you would enroll in all four parts.
You can also change your Medicare Advantage Plan, change to Original Medicare or change between Original Medicare Plans during the annual enrollment period (from October 15 to December 7).
If you need help choosing the right health care plans, you can contact the Medicare hotline at 800-MEDICARE (1-800-772-1213) or visit their website.You can also get in touch with The Sosa Insurance Group for assistance.
