    Most people will receive Medicare Part A at no charge. If you have worked in the Social Security system at least 40 quarters you have prepaid for your Part A coverage.

    Part B is optional (but highly recommended) and current runs $105 per month for most people. Your Part B premium is usually deducted from your Social Security check.

    In California teachers generally are a part of California State Retirement System and are exempt from social security.  The result is that they come to retirement often without the necessary quarters to qualify for Medicare.  If a person does not qualify for Medicare they must still enroll and they are then billed on a quarterly basis.  If such a person desires, the billing can be done through automatic monthly withdrawals.
