   You can get Part B when you qualify for Medicare at age 65 or are on Social Security Disability for two years.  If you opt out of Part B when you first qualified due to being covered under a group plan, then you can enroll in Part B when your group benefits terminate.  If you did not sign up during your initial enrollment period or special enrollment period, then you may sign up during the General Enrollment Period Jan 1st through March 31 each year.

   Once you qualify for Medicare you can select the coverages you want and implement them during any open enrollment period. At age 65 you qualify for Medicare and the recommendation is to sign up 6 months prior to your 65th birthday. You may then enroll for your benefits at the time of your 65th birthday and up to 6 months after (I think). Thereafter there is an open enrollment period once a year.
