When To Sign Up For Medicare Part A? 
For most people , Medicare Part A will come automatically on the 1st day of the month you turn age 65 . However , it is a good idea to go to the Social Security website at SSA.gov / medicare / or visit your local Social Security office to make sure . You should contact them 3 months prior to turning 65 . You will also want to sign up for Part B at the same time . If you are still working and on a group plan , your company may still offer benefits and you could delay your Part B. Medicare Part A & B do not cover all your medical expenses . A lot of people get a Medicare Supplement plan to cover the difference . With the right Medicare Supplement plan you could have very little out of pocket expenses . A independent agent that specializes in Medicare can be a big help in finding that plan that will best suit your needs .
