FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDICARE

There’s no denying health insurance and Medicare, specifically are confusing. Whether you’re new to Medicare or have received coverage for years, there are a number of questions you may have. To make your life easier, our Medicare experts at the Mair Agency have put together this list of frequently asked questions. Of course, if you have a question that we didn’t include, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to answer questions and simplify the complicated world of health insurance for Charlotte residents.

What are the eligibility requirements for Medicare?

To take advantage of Medicare, you must be at least 65. You also need to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who has lived in the states for a minimum of five years. Additionally, you or your spouse must have a work history of at least 10 years that makes you eligible for Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits.

Do I have to receive Social Security to get Medicare?

Even though you don’t have to be on Social Security before you can get Medicare, it is your responsibility to enroll. This means you must sign up for Medicare during your initial enrollment period: your 65th birthday month, three months before it, or three months after it.

Do I need to sign up for Medicare?

If you’re collecting Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits, you’ll be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B automatically. This will happen on the first day of the month you turn 65. You will have to enroll on your own manually, if you’re not receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits. You can do so on your 65th birthday month as well as three months before and three months after.

What does Medicare open enrollment mean?

Every year, Medicare has open enrollment between October 15th and December 7th. You may make changes to your Medicare plans during this time. The Medicare open enrollment period is also a great time to enroll in a Medicare supplement plan.

Am I eligible for Medicare if I already have Medicaid?

Depending on your financial situation, you may be able to enroll in both Medicare and Medicaid. If you’re not eligible for Medicaid while you have Medicare, you might still qualify for a federal Medicare Savings Program.

What is a Medicare Supplement Plan?

Also known as Medigap, a Medicare Supplement Plan helps cover some of the costs that Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) doesn’t pay for. It can help make out-of-pocket healthcare expenses more affordable. You can buy a Medicare Supplement Plan during the six-month Medigap open enrollment period.

Do I have to pay a premium for Medicare Part A?

If you’re at least 65 and you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes for a minimum of 10 years, you won’t have to pay a premium for Part A. You can also enjoy premium free Medicare if you’re collecting Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits or you’re eligible to receive them but haven’t applied yet. In addition, you may get Part A without a premium if you or your spouse worked in a Medicare-covered government job.
