You are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part B at the same time that you are enrolled in Medicare Part A if you are receiving Social Security benefits at age 65, you are under age 65 and have been disabled for two years, or you have ALS.
If you don't want Part B at that time, you can send in a card indicating that you do not want Part B. To sign up for it later on you should enroll during a special enrollment period to save money. Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to find out if you are eligible for a special enrollment period. If not, you will need to wait until the general enrollment period Jan1 to Mar 31, 2014.
