Do You Qualify for Medicare? Here’s How to Know

Medicare insurance is a powerful way of providing yourself with the coverage needed to handle your various healthcare needs. However, not everyone will qualify for this type of coverage. Do you know if you can get it? If not, you should read this article that we at Family Insurance Associates prepared for Ruidoso, NM area residents.

Do You Qualify for Medicare Insurance?

Medicare is set up for people who may not get other types of insurance or fall into specific categories. Most people who qualify are age 65 or older and need this type of insurance to pay for old-age treatments or to supplement what may be a potentially limited income situation. 

Likewise, younger people with some disabilities or end-stage renal disease may qualify for some types of Medicare. Two types exist, Part A and Part B. The first part is the most common type and is available to older people and those with disabilities. However, Part B can also supplement some of your payments.

If you aren’t sure if you qualify (due to either being too young or having been denied disability in the past), you might want to talk to your insurance agent to see what other factors may affect your qualification. Some people may even be over 65 and find that limitations (such as not paying Medicare taxes) may impact their policy.
