Who Is Eligible for Medicare
Medicare is primarily for individuals age 65 and older. Certain younger individuals may also qualify if they have specific disabilities or medical conditions. Eligibility details include:
People Age 65 or Older Who Are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents
Individuals Under 65 With Long-Term Disabilities Receiving Social Security Benefits
People With End-Stage Renal Disease Requiring Dialysis or Transplant
Understanding eligibility is important because it affects enrollment periods and the type of coverage available. Missing the initial enrollment window can result in higher premiums or late enrollment penalties.
