Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi everyone.. I have a question regarding SSD and Medicare. April 2007 will be two years receiving SSD checks. Social Security has informed me that at that time I will automatically be eligible for medicare insurance. I took a early retirement at 55 and fortunately was able to keep my medical insurance (paying $350.00 monthly). I will be 57 on October 7th. Do I have to accept medicare? I, (like many of you), am on enbrel - paying only $10.00 co-pay per month. That's only one medication. Initially I thought this would be a good thing. Unfortunately I have learned otherwise. I appreciate any and all information any of you can provide. I know it will be accurate and a heck of a lot quicker and making a call to the S.S. office. I don't want to call my employer insurance people because I anticipate the possibility of being red flagged. Thanks so much.
