This page explains CA Medicare enrollment advice. A person who is 65 years old and is applying for Social Security is automatically applying for Medicare Part A also. Enrollment for Medicare Part A is automatic for people when they receive their Social Security benefits or Railroad Retirement Benefits. In most cases, recipients of Medicare Part A coverage don't pay a premium for that coverage. This is because part of the Social Security tax a person or their spouse paid while working prepays the Part A coverage. People who are eligible are enrolled in Medicare Part A the first day of the month in which they turn 65 years of age. Part B enrollment is voluntary. In order to receive Medicare Part B a person has to pay monthly premiums for it. The Part B premium is typically deducted from a person's Social Security check. If you choose to not enroll in Part B when you first become eligible for it you can enroll at a later time. If you don't enroll when you are first eligible, you may have to pay a higher premium amount than if you had enrolled at initial eligibility. Some people don't enroll in Part B when they first become eligible if they are already covered by a group health insurance plan. However, if they enroll in Part B at a later time they will face the possibility of the Part B monthly premium being higher.
