What is Medicare? Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older and for people younger than 65 with certain disabilities. Medicare was introduced in 1965 as a way for Americans to have more affordable access to health care after retirement.

Who is Eligible for Medicare? You or your spouse worked for at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment. AND, you are 65 or older, or, you are under 65 and qualify for Medicare due to a disability. AND, you are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States.

About Pre-Existing Conditions- If you have had at least six months of prior creditable coverage or are in a guaranteed issue situation, you don’t have to wait for coverage to start for a pre-existing condition. Many types of health care coverage count as creditable coverage, but they only count if you did not have a bread for more than 63 days. This prior coverage can be used to eliminate or shorten waiting periods for pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition is a condition either treated or diagnosed six months prior to the effective date of your policy.
