I am a Federal employee. How do I enroll in Medicare?

September 20, 2009 by admin

Federal employees are entitled to Medicare under the same rules as all other employees. The enrollment process is essentially the same. If you are approaching age 65, you should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to enroll in Medicare. The Office of Personnel Management provides useful information to retiring Federal employees on their website. To learn about how to enroll in Medicare see: How do I enroll in Medicare?, I am a retired Federal employee with FEHBP.
