Turning 65

Almost 60 million Americans depend on Medicare to cover their healthcare expenses when they retire.

What is Medicare Part A and what does it cover?
Medicare Part A covers services that you may get as an inpatient during a stay in hospital or a skilled nursing facility. These services are provided by the care facility itself, including:
- Meals
- Lab tests
- X-rays
- Operating and recovery room services, and more
Hospice care and some home health care services are also covered by Medicare Part A.

Enroll Into Original Medicare
Original Medicare is provided by the federal government and you’ll be automatically enrolled if at age 65 you are receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits, or if you become eligible for Medicare due to disability. If you’re not enrolled automatically, you must enroll yourself.
Enroll online at socialsecurity.gov, by phone 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visit your local Social Security office.

Working after 65. If you plan to work past age 65, you can also enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan or prescription drug plan up to 2 full months after the month your employer health insurance ends. Keep in mind, you must be enrolled in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) to be eligible for a Medicare Advantage plan. Check with your human resources department and do some research to see if you could save money on Medicare when you turn 65, even if you do continue to work.
