Medicare Eligibility
Medicare eligibility refers to the qualifications that an individual must meet in order to enroll in and receive benefits from the Medicare program.
In the United States, Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals who are:
- age 65 or older,
- have a permanent disability,
- have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease)
Additionally, some people under 65 can also qualify for Medicare, such as those with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) who require dialysis or kidney transplant.
To enroll in Medicare, individuals typically need to meet certain residency and citizenship requirements and have a valid Social Security number.
