Medicare Enrollment

ImageOnce you are eligible, you can apply for Medicare Part A at your local SSA office. When you are entitled to Part A, you can choose to purchase Part B. If you were already entitled to Part A based on age or disability prior to the ESRD diagnosis, but you do not have Part B, you may purchase Part B now without paying a premium surcharge.

Jim indicates that he is currently enrolled in a Group Health Plan (GHP).

Marjorie explains that there are some special considerations for GHP participants that they should review.
