I work enough hours to have health care through work. Do I need to sign up for Medicare?

How is it done if I do?


I spoke with Social Security yesterday and was told I don't need to sign up for medicare. And the Medicare site on line says one needs to sign up only if the employer has less than 20 employees...I work at Elmira College and we have a few hundred employees.

When should I receive a card? My employers health insurance company wants that number. I believe Medicare is first and then the employer insurance is second.

You don have to sign up because you're automatically enrolled at age 65. Only question is whether or not you want Part B.

You need to understand your insurance. Will they function as a SUPPLEMENT? Or a primary insurer?

Make sure you understand this. It's very important.
