Leaving your current health insurance coverage to transition to Medicare as your primary insurance can feel overwhelming.  It’s a painless process when you know the proper steps to take. You can find most of the information you need about Medicare planning right here on this website.

​

First you need to know that the only parts of Medicare you will enroll in via the Social Security office is your Original Medicare Parts A & B. All other Parts and supplemental coverage enrollments are done outside of that, through an insurance agent or agency.

​

Also, if you are already taking Social Security, the government will auto-enroll in both parts of Medicare. Otherwise, you must enroll yourself.

​

Here is an overview of the steps you will take to get the ball rolling:

​

• Enroll in Original Medicare A & B online at ssa.gov, over the phone by calling Social Security, or in person at your local Social Security Office

•  Determine your desired supplemental route (standard supplement vs. Medicare Advantage Part C

• Determine how you will obtain Part D medication covarage

• Cancel current health insurance once you have verified ID numbers for your new coverages
