Do I have to pay for Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)?

September 20, 2009 by admin

You will not have to pay for Medicare Part A if you (or your spouse) worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. If you (or your spouse) did not pay Medicare taxes while you worked and you are age 65 or older, you may be able to buy Part A. Call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 for more information about buying Medicare Part A.
