How Do I Qualify For Medicare?

To qualify for Medicare, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident 65 years or older. You may also qualify if you are under 65 and have a disability, End-Stage Renal Disease, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. If you are under 65 and have a qualifying disability, you must provide proof of your disability when applying for Medicare.

If you are under 65 and have End-Stage Renal Disease, you must provide proof of your diagnosis when applying for Medicare. You may be able to get Medicare coverage before you turn 65 if you are a disabled widow or widower.

To apply for Medicare, you can contact your local Social Security office or visit the Social Security website. You will need to provide basic information about yourself, such as your name, date of birth, and Social Security number.

You will also need proof of your citizenship or permanent residency status. Once you have applied for Medicare, you will receive a card in the mail that you can use to access your benefits.

You will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A if you already receive Social Security benefits. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits, you can enroll in Medicare through the Health Insurance Marketplace. You can also enroll in Medicare by contacting your state’s Medicaid office.
