To enroll in Medicare, you'll generally need your Social Security number, proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency, and your birth certificate or other proof of age. If you're enrolling based on disability or other special circumstances, additional documents may be required.
Basic Medicare eligibility is not based on income or assets. It is based on age and work history. However, your income can affect how much you pay for Medicare premiums.
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care after a qualifying hospital stay, some home health services, and hospice care. It generally does not cover doctor visits, outpatient care, or prescription drugs.
After losing employer health coverage, you generally have 8 months to sign up for Medicare Part B without a late penalty. This is called a Special Enrollment Period.
You can help protect your parent from Medicare scams by teaching them the simple rule that Medicare will never call, text, or email them asking for their Medicare number, and that anyone who does is a scammer. Staying involved and being someone they feel comfortable calling when something seems off goes a long way.
