Medicare can be a highly beneficial way to receive affordable health care coverage and services. There are four main parts that offer different coverage. Part A covers hospital stays and hospice care, Part B covers doctor visits, preventative care, and outpatient care, Part C covers additional benefits for dental, vision, and prescription drugs, and Part D covers prescription drugs.
Although we receive many questions about Medicare, one of the main questions we get is, “Do I qualify?” Below, we’ll go over some key facts to help you determine if you are eligible.
- You are retirement age: If you are over the age of 65, you are typically eligible for Medicare.
- You have disabilities: Medicare is also available for those with certain disabilities or have kidney failure that is being treated through transplant or dialysis.
- You’ve been receiving social security benefits: You may also be eligible for Medicare if you have been receiving social security benefits for at least 24 months.
- You refused Medicare in the past: Even if you have refused Medicare in the past for any reason but meet any of the above requirements, you can still qualify and enroll for coverage this time around.
