What is Medicare?
Medicare is our country’s health
insurance program for people age 65
or older. Certain people younger
than age 65 can qualify for
Medicare, too, including those who
have disabilities and those who have
permanent kidney failure or
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou
Gehrig’s disease). The program helps
with the cost of health care, but it
does not cover all medical expenses
or the cost of most long-term care.
Medicare is financed by a portion of
the payroll taxes paid by workers
and their employers. It also is
financed in part by monthly premiums
deducted from Social Security
checks.
The Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services is the
agency in charge of the Medicare
program. But you apply for Medicare
at Social Security, and we can give
you general information about the
Medicare program.
Medicare has four parts
*
Hospital insurance (Part A) that
helps pay for inpatient care in a
hospital or
skilled nursing facility (following
a hospital stay), some home health
care
and hospice care.
*
Medical insurance (Part B) that
helps pay for doctors’ services and
many
other medical services and supplies
that are not covered by hospital
insurance.
*
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
plans are available in many areas.
People with
Medicare Parts A and B can choose to
receive all of their health care
services
through one of these provider
organizations under Part C.
*
Prescription drug coverage (Part D)
that helps pay for medications
doctors
prescribe for treatment.
Hospital insurance (Part A)
Most people age 65 or older who are
citizens or permanent residents of
the United States are eligible for
free Medicare hospital insurance
(Part A). You are eligible at age 65
if:
* You receive or are eligible to
receive Social Security benefits; or
* You receive or are eligible to
receive railroad retirement
benefits; or
* You or your
spouse (living or deceased,
including divorced spouses) worked
long enough in a government job where
Medicare taxes were paid; or
* You are the dependent parent of a
fully insured deceased child.
If you do not meet these
requirements, you may be able to get
Medicare hospital insurance by
paying a monthly premium. Usually,
you can sign up for this hospital
insurance only during designated
enrollment periods.
NOTE:
Even though the full retirement age
is no longer 65, you should sign up
for Medicare three months before
your 65th birthday.
Before
age 65, you are eligible for free
Medicare hospital insurance if:
*
You have been entitled to Social
Security disability benefits for 24
months; or
* You receive a disability pension
from the railroad retirement board
and meet
certain conditions; or
* If you receive Social Security
disability benefits because you have
Lou
Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis); or
* You worked long enough in a
government job where Medicare taxes
were paid
and you meet the requirements of the
Social Security disability
program;
or
* You are the child or widow(er) age
50 or older, including a divorced
widow(er),
of someone who has worked long
enough in a government job where
Medicare
taxes were paid and you meet the
requirements of the Social Security
disability
program.
* You have permanent kidney failure
and you receive maintenance dialysis
or a
kidney transplant and:
o You are eligible for or receive
monthly benefits under Social
Security or the
railroad retirement system; or
o You have worked long enough in a
Medicare-covered government job; or
o You are the child or spouse
(including a divorced spouse) of a
worker (living
or deceased) who has worked long
enough under Social Security or in
a
Medicare-covered government job.
