I didn’t realize you had to be 65 to be eligible for Medicare
Many people confuse Medicare and Medicaid. It’s Medicaid that you can get when you are under 65 because it is not age-related.
What if you have Medicaid and you don’t want Medicare?
Once you turn 65 or have 24 months of SSDI benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare. Don’t worry though – Medicare can be primary and you can keep Medicaid as your secondary if are a qualified Medicare beneficiary with full Medicaid benefits.
How do I find out if I can qualify for Medicaid?
HI Nicholas, contact the Medicaid office in your state. Here is a helpful link to guide you: https://www.medicaid.gov/about-us/contact-us/contact-state-page.html
My Dad has Medicare and Medicaid and we just got information about a Part D drug plan that they enrolled him in. Is this normal?
Hi Novica, yes if someone is on Medicaid when they turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare, they must select a Part D drug plan. If he doesn’t select one on his own, then Medicare will automatically choose one for him. If he doesn’t like that drug plan though, he can contact 1-800-MEDICARE to investigate other drug plans and he is able to switch plans.
Great info – there are always a lot of questions around this topic.
