This internet web page talks about CA Medicare enrollment. Someone 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. Most recipients of Medicare Part A coverage don't have to pay a premium for that coverage. This is because part of the Social Security tax a person or their spouse paid while working is used to prepay the Part A coverage. Eligible people are enrolled in Medicare Part A the first day of the month in which they turn 65 years of age. Enrollment for Medicare Part B is voluntary. To get Medicare Part B a person has to pay monthly premiums for it. The Medicare Part B premium is usually deducted from a person's Social Security check. If you choose to not enroll in Part B when you are first eligible for it you can enroll at a later time. One disadvantage to not enrolling when you first become eligible is that 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.
