    Assuming you are referring to Part A, you become eligible to enroll when you are three months shy of your 65th birthday.

    If you are under age 65 and have a qualified disability, you can also apply. If you have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) you can also apply for Medicare benefits.

    You automatically get Part A if you receive benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.

    Part B is optional and has similar qualification requirements.

    An experienced broker and/ or their qualified website can offer additional specific information and free quotes from the top companies.

    Most people will become eligible for Medicare at age 65, but you can enroll at a later date without penalty if you are covered under an employers group health insurance plan.

    You still want to enroll in Part A when you turn 65, but you should consider postponing Part B until your group health coverage expires.
