Find out if you can delay enrolling in Medicare
You may be able to delay enrolling in Medicare Part B, or both Parts A & B, and postpone paying Medicare costs if you either (1) are going to work past 65 and have creditable employer coverage, or (2) you have creditable coverage through a spouse’s employer.
In either of these situations, you may qualify to delay. You’ll need to check with the employer’s benefits administrator to find out all of your options.
Keep in mind that there is a penalty for late enrollment for Part B and Part D unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period when your employer coverage ends.
