Can You Get Medicare While Working? 
Yes , you can be on Medicare while working . Many people do postpone going on Medicare if they 're still working because they may have group health insurance available to them through their employer . Self-employed individuals will usually go on Medicare when they turn 65 unless they have group coverage available through their spouse 's work . Some may decide to go on Medicare if they 're 65 and still working because they want a more predictable health expense structure and/or want to lower their premiums .
