   Medicare enrollment typically is automatic when you turn age 65.  However, if you are still working then you will want to consider if you can delay your Part B and stay on the company insurance.  If you have that option it's important to compare it to a Medicare Supplement that you can get in the market.  Many clients find they can get equal too or better coverage for less money by looking at a Medicare Supplement instead of the company group plan.  It is still a good idea to call your local Social Security office or go online at www.SSA.gov a few months prior to your 65th birthday to make sure everything is in order.  You can also start reviewing your Medicare Supplement options up to 6 months out from turning 65.
