At What Age Can I Collect Medicare? 
You are afforded health insurance on Medicare as of your 65 birthday if you are a US citizen who has paid into SSI for 10 + years . You can also qualify if you have a disability and have been on social security for 24 + months . Medicare part A covers your inpatient care while part B is your outpatient services . There is also prescription service called part D . If you think you should have Medicare and do not have your ID card you should call Medicare at 800-633-4227 I hope I have answered your question
