[quote=Anonymous]I would go to a nonprofit agency that has good Medicare information: www.aarp.org/health/medicare-qa-tool learn.aarp.org/in-person-learning www.medicarerights.org shiphelp.org But as I understand the laws, your husband can stay on your insurance and delay his enrollment in Medicare, and he'll be able to enroll during a Special Enrollment Period, which lasts 8 months after the work health care coverage would end. He would not have any late enrollment penalties as long as he enrolls in that 8 month time frame. Smaller companies (less than 20 people) don't have to offer this option, so always double-check with your company. There's no monthly premium for Medicare Part A, so a lot of people will enroll in that at 65 even if they have job-based insurance. In that case, it's a secondary insurance for hospitalization only.
