Complete Guide to Medicare Eligibility & Enrollment
Turning 65 soon or helping a loved one navigate their healthcare options? 🏥 Understanding how to qualify and sign up for Medicare is the best way to avoid late enrollment penalties!
Our latest blog post breaks down the three main paths to eligibility: 🎂 By Age: Reaching age 65 as a U.S. citizen or legal resident (living in the U.S. for 5+ years). 💪 By Disability: Receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for at least 24 months. 🩺 By Medical Condition: Instant eligibility for individuals diagnosed with specific serious conditions, such as ALS or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
📅 How to Sign Up: If you already receive Social Security retirement benefits, enrollment is automatic! If not, you must sign up during your 7-month Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which begins 3 months before your 65th birthday month.
Once enrolled, Medicare Part B covers 80% of your medically necessary medical supplies and equipment after your deductible is met. Universal Med Supply handles the coordination with your doctor to get your items covered. 📦 Click the link below to read our step-by-step guide! ⬇️
