If you're doing a Retirement benefit application, you get Part A automatically...and then later in the application, it will ask if you want Part B. So you can take care of both SS retirement and Medicare on the same application.
Thanks for another informative video which is greatly appreciated. If one signs up for Medicare without first receiving Social Security and pays Part B premiums by one of the method described in the video, will Social Security automatically deduct Part B premiums from Social Security benefits if one apply for benefits later?
Great! Glad to hear you liked the video. Yes, once you start Social Security benefits, you will transition automatically to a monthly deduction for the Medicare Part B premium out of the Social Security payment. Note: If you're paying for Part B via EasyPay auto deduction from your checking or savings account, you will need to cancel that payment arrangement. Medicare Easy Pay doesn't automatically cancel when you start Social Security benefits.
I am 69, not receiving social security benefits and paying quarterly Medicare Part B online. I turn 70 in January 2024, and have applied to begin social security benefits then. (First social security payment will be in Feb 2024 for prior month of January.) I just received a quarterly premium bill from Medicare for Jan-Mar 2024. Will the Medicare Premium deducted from my first social security payment in Feb be for the month of January, February, or March and when should I stop making Medicare Premium payments online? Thanks for you videos and any assistance you can provide. @@MedicareMindset
No doubt, the government has made this confusing. Medicare isn't required at 65 for all people (i.e. you're covered on a group health plan based on active employment), so that's why it's not automatic for everyone. Thanks for checking out our video. Hopefully it was helpful.
Thank you for your video again. All your videos are very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much 👍👍
Great! I'm happy to hear this!
Thank you very much... Very clear!
Do I need to appy Medicare seperately if I answered I want to enroll Medicare part B when I was applying retirement benefit? Thanks a lot!

on payee name, do you have to put CMS MEDICARE INSURANCE
Yes
not collecting SS benefit yet, if you stop working, is your premium amount will go down.@@MedicareMindset
Why does the Government make everything so difficult? If I am required to do this then it should be automatic.
