Middy S | Is it possible to collect SOCIAL SECURITY benefits and NOT be enrolled in MEDICARE at all? |
I obviously wish to keep recieving benifits from Social Security, but the Medicare has really messed up my enrollment into Tricare Prime.
I have Medicare part "A", but refused part "B". Now that I want to enroll in Tricare Prime, I have to pay a surcharge ad wait unti next year before I can enroll.
It was so much easier before I collected Social Security because I was enrolled in Prime before and simply paid the quarterly premiums. Then, when I started collecting Social Security, I got tossed from Tricare Prime because I didn't know any better at the time and disenrolled in part "B" Medicare.
So, if I could, I would rather just completely ditch Medicare if I can just so I can requalify for Tricare Prime and not pay so much out per month.
Can it be done?
Thanks.

Thanks for the answers so far! I am well under 65, and I had TRICARE PRIME first before I got SS, then when I got SS, they automaticially enrolled me in PART B Medicare, then I dis-enrolled to save money because I figured I didn't need that as I can go to the VA Hospital as well. |

Social Security, Medicare and Tricare are all government agencies. For those that don't know Tricare is the military health plan.
This is a confusing situation.
You said you refused part B but then said you were disenrolled from part B. Did you refuse it within the time limits? It sounds like you didn't. If you refused it in time you couldn't have been enrolled in it to become disenrolled. You become automatically enrolled in part B. Social Security and part B have no correlation. It doesn't matter what health plan you have to get SS and getting SS will not affect any health plan.
Tricare acts as a supplement to Medicare. You are still on Medicare but you get your services from Tricare.
You will need to contact Tricare to find out what you need to do to get back on. You should also contact Medicare. There are rules about when you can enroll in any plan so that is why you need to wait. |

Which program is advantageous for you? Only you will know. You may want to try this - Go back to your local social security office and give them your situation. Tell the Service Rep that you would like to file for EQUITY RELIEF under Medicare because you were given a wrong information. You made your decision based on the information you received. Then if your request is approved you can possibly enroll in Medicare PART B where you may not get penalized by paying a surcharge. This is called Special Enrollment period. Surcharge is 10% for every 12 months that you did not enroll in Medicare when you were eligible. Good Luck to you. |

I think if you will check with Tricare, you will find that you must have Part B Medicare in order to qualify for Tricare. Personally I think you would really benefit from picking up the Part B of medicare because when you combine Parts A/B of medicare with Tricare, there are very few copays or additional amounts to pay for medical services. I would urge you to contact your Tricare office to see what benefits you get with the combination. You'll be surprised. |

I don't think this is possible. Most insurance companies will not allow this. They will sell you supplemental insurance to cover what Medicare does not cover but they will not offer full coverage because it is so expensive that almost no one could afford it. |

OK, social security and medicare are two seperate programs, so of course you can collect SS and not have any medicare. Not a problem.
I have no idea what "Tricare Prime" is, but whatever it is, you'll have to qualify for it. It sort of sounds like MEDICAID, which is welfare insurance, and the social security benefits might mean you have too much income to qualify. |
