Medicare Part A & Part B Eligibility Rules

Updated 12/1/2024

Am I Eligible For Medicare Part A & Part B?

In most cases, determining Medicare eligibility is a straightforward process. Nevertheless, it is important to review each client’s unique circumstances in order to make an accurate determination and to identify their available options.

To help make this analysis easier, we have created the “Am I Eligible For Medicare Part A & Part B” flowchart. It addresses some of the most common Medicare eligibility issues that arise, including:

  • Eligibility before age 65
  • Eligibility if a client has fewer than 40 work credits
  • Applicable premiums
