Secondly, if you wait too long to enroll, Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient services, could end up costing you more. Specifically, you’ll face a 10% surcharge on your premiums for each year-long period you were eligible to enroll but didn’t.

This hit my mom. She retired from an insurance company, but neglected to sign up for Medicare B for a few years. She claimed that no one told her she had to sign up but it was to no avail. Since she died at 99, the surcharge ended up being quite a lot of money.

How do you pay your Medicare premiums if you’re not on Social Security?

Just curious.

Is there a link to sign up
for Medicare?
I should have signed up
A few months back.

Thank you Seek for this post.

As I am 63 I love learning all I can about such.

I ***HATE*** Medicare.

I was forced to go on it when I turned 65 and lost my wonderful private ins.

Now my medical bills are through the roof. It’s beyond ridiculous what it’s costing me because Meidcare won’t cover it and the supposedly secondary ins won’t pick it up.

I know National healthcare would be a failure because Medicare was mismanaged, but I didn’t realize how bad Medicare was until I was forced to go on it.

I’m paying ins. premiums for next to nothing in coverage. It’s useless.

Did I say how much I hate Medicare????
