I turn 65 in October. I’ll be working at least another three years...probably four. I’ll sign up for Medicare then.

I don't think you have a choice.

Better look into it and make sure you can do that or you could be screwed.

Not that you won't be when you get on Medicare anyways.

Thanks.

The information the Medicare folks put out is not straightforward. However, looking at what they put out and what a third party has put out I am confident that if I stay employed and continue to have group medical insurance (with the group being greater than 20 employees) that I am exempt from signing up for Medicare A or B until I am no longer employed and part of that group medical insurance.

It’s the same for my wife so long as she is covered under my plan.

They certainly don’t make it easy and for me and my wife it will be substantially more expensive than what we are paying now under our group plan. I’m talking more than $1,000 more per month expensive...Sigh...
