How Do You Qualify For Medicare A? 
Most people qualify for Medicare Part A when they turn age 65 . There is usually no monthly premium for Part A assuming you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes . If you 're already getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits you will be automatically enrolled the first day of the month you turn 65 . If you are not collecting benefits yet you can enroll for Part A 3 months prior to turning 65 by calling Social Security or visiting socialsecurity.gov / retirement . If you are under 65 , disabled and have been getting Social Security benefits for 24 months you will automatically get Part A & B . If you have ALS or End-Stage Renal Disease you can also get Part A & B .
