Question

How do i enroll in medicare part b?

Answer 1

You apply for Medicare at the social security office.

Be aware that if you are just coming off of a group policy with 20 or more employees you have 8 months to get on Part B without incurring a penalty. If you were on a group policy with less than 20 or if you didn't sign up when you were first eligible you can only apply from January 1 to March 31 for a July 1 effective date. You will then have a penalty of 10% for each 12 month period you should have been on Part B but was not.
