You have to apply for it, and choose if you want Plan B (and pay $170.10 a month for it,) and choose an Advantage Plan (not good in my book,) or a Supplement Plan about $190 a month, (better) and a Part D Drug plan. You have 3 months before turning 65 and I think 3 months or 6 months after turning 65 to get your Medicare started. If you wait or delay, you will be penalized monthly for the rest of your life, when you finally grab Medicare. (Unless you have an employer-provided insurance; but Medicare and a Supplement is better. Then you get those red, white, and blue cards for Medicare in the mail. Good luck.
