You may be under age 65, have a disability, and are no longer entitled to free Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) because you successfully returned to work. If your Medicare Part A terminates you can enroll in hospital insurance by paying a monthly premium as long as you continue to have a disability. You may be eligible for a program that helps pay your Medicare Part A monthly premium.
To be eligible for this help, you must:
- Continue to have a disability.
- Have limited income.
- Have limited resources.
- Not already be eligible for Medicaid.
To find out more about this program, contact your state Medical Assistance office. Call 1-800-MEDICARE to get their telephone number. (TTY users call 1-877-486-2048.) Ask about Medicare for Qualified Disabled and Working People.
