I Want To Enroll In Medicare Home Care Path

Seniors can enroll in Medicare during the enrollment period. The enrollment period is 3 months before your 65th birthday and 3 months after your 65th birthday. Seniors are encouraged to begin the enrollment process 3 months prior to your 65th birthday.

Enrollment in Medicare does not involve interaction with CMS The Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services. The first place of contact with the Medicare Program is through the local Social Security Office. Whether or not you already receive Social Security benefits at age 65 does determine when and how you enroll.

A senior already receiving Social Security benefits before age 65 will authomatically be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. The senior will automatically be sent a Medicare card approximately 3 months befire turning 65.

If the senior is not receiving Social Security benefits at age 65, they will need to contact the local Social Security Office to enroll in Medicare. The senior must contact the Social Security Office, the staff will not automatically contact the senior.

Home Care Path www.homecarepath.com staff encourage seniors to access and utilize their Medicare benefit.
