1. Automatic Enrollment

If you’re already receiving benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), you’ll automatically be enrolled in both Parts A and B starting the first day of the month you turn 65. Your Medicare card will be mailed to you about 3 months before your 65th birthday.

2. Apply Online

Before you can apply for Medicare, you’ll need to create a My Social Security account. This account will give you access to personalized tools to manage your Social Security benefits. The Social Security Administration’s website provides an online application to enroll in Medicare that takes less than 10 minutes to complete. You can apply for either Parts A and B together, or Part A only. If you’re already covered through an employer group health plan, you may choose to delay Part B.

3. Apply by Phone

You can apply for Medicare by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213.

4. Apply in Person

You can apply for Medicare in person at your local Social Security office. This might be a good option if you have complex questions or want help filling out your application.
