You will receive Medicare automatically when you reach age 65 as long as you have paid into the sytem long enough. You can also receive Medicare if you are on Social Security Disability. Shortly before you reach 65 you should receive your Medicare Card and some information from Medicare. Do not opt out of Part B unless you are still covered under a group. You also need to pick up a prescription drug plan.
You don't collect Medicare (like you do Social Security) but you can enroll at age 65.
Most will qualify for Part A at no out of pocket premium, but you will be required to pay the Part B premuim unless you qualify under low income guidelines for seniors with enough credits in the Social Security system.
