Enrollment in Medicare

The enrollment process in Medicare can seem daunting, but a lot of the work and efforts actually goes into finding the coverage option you want with Medicare. Luckily, that is where AIS Medicare & More can help and make it a pretty easy and seamless process!

If you are already drawing Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board, your Medicare Part A and Part B will automatically start the first of the month you turn 65 (if you were born on the first of the month, your benefits will start the month prior).

If you are not drawing Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board, you will need to enroll Medicare Part A and Part B yourself. Typically you want to start this process 3 months prior to your 65th birthday. 

If you are under 65 and disabled, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare after receiving Social Security Disability benefits for 24 months.

If you have ALS, you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare the month your Social Security Disability benefits start. 

If you have ESRD, you will need to enroll in Medicare yourself by contacting Social Security, coverage is able to start on the fourth month of dialysis.

Parts of Medicare

Medicare can be broken down into 4 main parts, or letters. Each letter is going to be tied to a specific coverage. Below we are going to breakdown each Part of Medicare and explain what coverage is provided by each letter.
