First of all your very was extremely helpful; getting started with Medicare. Thank you!! I have two questions for clarification. I just recently received Medicare Part A but I did not sign up for Part B initially due to my wife having credible health coverage. She also contributes to an HSA out of her paychecks. I do not. I have learned since signing up for Part A that we would in fact save money with me now signing up for Part B and getting off her health insurance. Question #1; If the HSA account is under her name only can she continue to have the HSA account? Question 2: I am unclear how to go back in and sign up for Part B and have it added to my account. I appreciate you time and clarification before I move forward. Once again, Thank You Very Much!
Hi - first, here is an updated version of this video that answers your question on how to enroll in Part B only: ruclips.net/video/V-c_8EHmSvg/видео.html As far as HSA, I cannot give tax advice but you should be in the clear as long as it is her HSA and she is not enrolled in Medicare. I have an article on HSA here: ruclips.net/video/V-c_8EHmSvg/видео.html
Good video but was also expecting a walk-through on how to sign up for Medicare on line and not so much time spent on late signup or delaying sign up. Title is a bit misleading when you say step-by-step, nothing was covered on step by step basis on signing up.
10/18/2023. After seeing this video I figured I must be able to sign in for Medicare benefits. My birthday is not till February. I went to my SSA account. Couldn't find the Medicare button. After signing out it is before you sign into your Social Security account( upper right corner). It has me sign in later. It also warned me that if I started 10/18. I have to complete it by 4/18/24 or I lose Medicare😂 the process was simple. It pretty much went by my Social Security account. How to check progress I go to Social Security account. It's being reviewed. Thank you for this video
Thank you for your clear explanations of Medicare. I was so confused all these months leading to my 65th birthday due to the amount of offers from health insurance companies. I knew I didn’t have to enroll in Medicare yet because I’m still working fulI time. I turned 65 April 16th. I work full time at a big hospital so I have health insurance from my employer and I contribute to HSA too. I also have health insurance from my husband’s employer because he’s still working full time. He is a veteran having served in the USN for 20 yrs. I was ineligible for Tricare prime when I turned 65. I will stop my HSA contributions in November and then apply for Medicare and Tricare for Life after I leave my job on my FRA. I hope I got everything straightened up.
So there is no penalty for late enrollment in part A but part A is nice to have. There is no need to enroll in Part B if you can show coverage through employer. So the initial enrollment period is only critical for those who are no longer working. Did I get that right?
Pretty much. It is a critical time in that you need to know the rules and make sure you have creditable if you do not enroll in Medicare. Check out my creditable coverage cheat sheet here: medigapseminars.org/resources/ Keep in mind, Medicare plus a supplement is usually better coverage at a lower cost than group insurance. You can use this calculator to compare: medigapseminars.org/compare-employer-plan-to-medicare/ call if we can help. 800-847-9680
Thank you for an information pace that’s easy to follow and digest. The content organization is logical and easy to follow. This series is very useful for me.
As soon as I get part B during a SEP ( penalty free) from my old job, I will be contacting you to get a supplement plan . Your many videos have helped me so much, that I feel confident to be able to choose what's brst for my needs. Thanks for plain & simple explanations.
Very excited. I can't wait to get my Medicare number. To call you guys. You guys are great. Love your Medicare classes on you tube. Matt C . It is very clear and easy to follow and understand his classes. Congratulations 👏 doing a great job.
I’m 64. I want to start my SS in January 2024. I’ll turn 65 in May 2024. When do I sign up for SS and Medicare? I was hoping to carry COBRA from Feb to May but I think you said that COBRA is not count as creditable coverage. Help. I’m so confused!
i like the part of how to sign up for medicare, I have been watching medicare webinar in the past year. I have stopped my hsa contributions in January 2022
Extremely helpful video. I've been looking in several places and it was a bit confusing. This video is thorough and complete. Nice step by step instructions.
Very much appreciate the simple, concise manner in which you present the questions, and answers. It was like we had a conversation, and I wasn't even there!
Can you tell me I have a female friend who is 75 years old I believe she has Medicare part A can she enroll in part B if her husband still has credible coverage through his job at Disney World ? Can you help with this question ?
The answer is Yes, she can. Her husbands employer will need to complete Form CMS-L564 so she is not penalized. www.cms.gov/cms-l564-request-employment-information
These are such great videos. You are a wonderful teacher. I am just confirming. My husband and I will both turn 65 this January. Right now he is still working so we both are covered under his employer insurance. And he hopes to continue working a few more years at least. The company is large….over 100 employees. Do we understand correctly that we can definitely stay on this insurance until he retires? They can’t make us go on Medicare? Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. You are correct. Please watch this video about what to do if you or your spouse is working past your initial enrollment: ruclips.net/video/gCPbYcvvxgo/видео.html
loved the video. Since I am retired military I also watched your 'How Medicare works with TRICARE for Life' video. Very informative and highly recommended.
filling form B part is cut and not sufficient. Company shut down our division and laid off. But there is still helath coverage upt the end of the month. It is not clear when and how to fill in this case. And what is necessary for proof and where to give ? But your staements are generally clean and very useful. Thanks.
Wow! This seems to be the most complete and factual information I've found about working and having group insurance after age 65. I even called the local Social Security office and got an answer, but the guy didn't seem very confident about it.
for over 65 and subsequently enrolled in part b, how long from the part b enrollment date do I have to get medigap supplement insurance without medical underwriting?
Hi - you have 180-days from the Medicare Part B start date. Some insurance companies allow 6-calendar months, which could be a few days longer than 180-days.
Let's say I work till 66 which is in December, and my employer group insurance ends March 31st, would I sign up in March for A & B? Or would I sign up for A,B,D in April 1st ??? Thanks for your videos BTW ❤
If your employer group insurance is Creditible coverage, you would want to enroll in Medicare to ahve a start date of April 01. medigapseminars.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Table-creditable-coverage-update-2022-09.pdf
Good stuff. I heard about your channel because a commenter on the Barron's website mentioned it. I am now signed up. Not a moment too soon as I will be doing this very soon. Thanks.
EXTREMELY valuable information on all your videos. I will be getting a SEP in April 2024 from the POST OFFICE under a new PSHB reform plan that is still in progress but will be effective 1/1/2025. This will be for part B enrollment &will be penality free. Once I get that I'll be contacting you to get a Suppliment plan, as I do not want to participate any further in ANY health plans that this new plan might offer. Thanks for such clear, informative, & understandable videos to help us all make a decision as to which way to go for a better decision on our future health care options. Plus the ways to avoid HUGE mistakes in doing so.
Thank you Sir! From the HSA cheat sheet, it looks like I can enroll in Medicare during the Initial Enrollment Period and can stop paying into our HSA the month before. Whereas the "six month retroactive rule" (with penalties on HSA) applies only to after Initial Enrollment Period. Thanks!
Thank you for all of your videos. How can one get you as their representative, especially because you’re so articulate and clear in explaining everything?
Greatly appreciative of all your videos, and the chapters segments are very helpful. Little over a year before eligible; studying, preparing at this point. Pretty much already know what choices I will make. Thank you.
I don’t have employer sponsored health insurance but instead have private insurance. I’ll be applying for Medicare in September, three months prior to my 65th birthday. I’m not currently collecting SS
Can you publish a video for applying SSI and suitable Medicare for persons above 65, who have not worked anytime in USA and no income during the current period also. These came to USA as parents of working individuals.
Excellent information. I am a contractor and receive health and welfare benefits in each pay check. I opted not to take their health insurance and looked for my own which the H&W benefits pay for. I understand those benefits will still be available to myself when I am on Medicare A and B. I will be using that benefit money to payt for my Medicare part B. Is this okay?
Do you also have video's about signing up for Social Security? These would also be very helpful. Thank you for your clear explanations on Medicare enrollments.
My husband is 63, retired and on Social Security. I am 64 still working and carrying him on my insurance plan at work. I will turn 65 next July and want to get on Medicare and retire as soon as possible. Even though my husband will be automatically enrolled in Medicare as of August 1 (due to his 65th birthday being in August), he will not have part B or drug plan if I retire July 1st….correct? (I work for State of Virginia and their new insurance year begins July) Do I need to stick it out to August 1st to keep him with insurance coverage?
Hi - the short answer is yes work the extra month. It will also be the most cost effective. You can probably carry COBRA for 1 month or et short-term coverage for 1 month, but both are expensive alternatives. I suggest you ask him to do you a very big favor in return for working an extra month you really don't want to do. Any projects he has been putting off?
Thank you for the videos Matthew, this was most helpful in re: to “credible coverage”. My question for you is do I have to do anything if 1) I started collecting SS benefits at 62. I will be 65 in May of 24. 2) I have the 40 quarters paying into Medicare and I have credible coverage via my wife with prescription coverage. Based on your video I will be enrolled automatically and don’t need part b or part d. Am I correct in my assessment? Thank you !
I had a SS account before signing up for Medicare. I logged into my account. I clicked the start retirement benefits (not just for medicare). I found a box for the medicare form and checked it. As I'm working my way through this form, it asked if you would like to start SS monthly payments (no for me). Then there is a box to check for Part B (which I checked). There was no mention of Part A (This is were I have a question). ; Am I automatically enrolled in Part A when I checked the Part B box? ; Thanx.

Good video but was also expecting a walk-through on how to sign up for Medicare on line and not so much time spent on late signup or delaying sign up. Title is a bit misleading when you say step-by-step, nothing was covered on step by step basis on signing up.

Great information about Medicare. Keep up the good work Why is there a penalty when you don’t sign up for part A. Thank you
If you have earned your Part A through 10-years of Medicare payroll tax, there is no late Penalty for Part A
