For many, eligibility for Medicare begins at age 65. You must also be a United States citizen or be a permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. However, other requirements must be met to be fully eligible for Medicare.
You are eligible for Medicare if you meet one of the following conditions:
You may be eligible to get Medicare Part A premium-free if you’re age 65 or older and:
Eligibility requirements for Part B are the same as Part A. However, unlike Part A, Part B requires a premium. To enroll in a Part C plan, you must be enrolled in both Part A and B. And, for Part D, you can enroll in it as long as you are enrolled in either Part A or B.
It is not required for you to enroll in Medicare, but if you do not have other health insurance, you will face penalties for delaying your Medicare enrollment. And, for many, Part A is free. This means that even with current health insurance, you can still enroll in Part A at no cost to you as far as premiums are concerned.
