Medicare is our country’s health insurance program for people age 65 or older. You’ll sign up for Medicare Part A and Part B through SocialSecurity, so you can make both retirement and Medicare choices and withhold any premiums from your benefit payments.
If you are not ready to receive SocialSecurity benefits at 65 because you are still working, you can apply online for Medicare only. Or you may be able to wait until you retire to sign up during a special enrollment period. Learn more about how Medicare works if you are employed past age 65.
Use this form if you already have Medicare Part A and want to sign up for Part B (Medical Insurance). If you don't have Part A, don't complete this application —instead, contact Social Security to apply for Medicare for the first time. Submit your completed and signed form by mail, fax, or by visiting your local Social Security office in person.
Answer these questions to find out how to sign up (apply) for Medicare based on your situation. Some people get Medicare Part A and Part B automatically, and some have to sign up for it.
