There are basically 3 scenarios once you become eligible for Medicare. Are you ready for the changes coming your way?

  • You turn 65 and are eligible for Part A and/or Part B
  • You leave your job with employer sponsored coverage, becoming eligible for Part B (and sometimes Part A) – This happens when you continue to work after your 65th birthday.
  • You become eligible for Medicare by way of disability (24 months after you start pulling Social Security Disability payments)
