Social Security Administration In Centralia
Community Resource
About this resource
The Medicare program oversees insurance for individuals aged 65 and above who qualify for Social Security benefits, along with many Social Security disability beneficiaries. Certain plans may involve a premium.
Application Process: To apply, individuals can either call to schedule an appointment at a local office or submit an application online. It is advisable to apply for Medicare at least one month prior to turning 65 to ensure coverage begins at that age. After enrollment, patients should verify that their chosen hospital, skilled nursing facility, or home health agency accepts Medicare payments. Information regarding the quality of care provided to Medicare patients can be accessed through Hospital Compare on the Medicare website.
Costs: For Hospital Insurance (Part A), there are no premiums for those eligible for Social Security; however, non-Social Security recipients may incur a premium. Medical Insurance (Part B) requires the patient to pay a premium, an annual deductible, and co-insurance for each visit. The monthly premiums, deductibles, and co-insurance amounts for Medicare are subject to change annually.
