How to Get Medicare Part A or B

If you did not apply for Medicare Part A or B during your initial enrollment period, you will have to apply in January, February, or March through your Social Security office.

Just follow these steps: 

  1. Call your Social Security office at 1-800-772-1213 to schedule an appointment during January, February, or March.
  2. Go to this appointment to fill out an application. 
  3. Once your application is complete, Social Security will forward it to Kentucky Medicaid for review. It may take a few months for you to hear about your application. Kentucky Medicaid may pay for your Medicare Part A or Part B premium if you meet certain requirements.

This plan is available to all active Passport Health Plan members with Medicare Parts A and B. Eligible beneficiaries may enroll in Passport Advantage at any time. Please call our Member Services for more information.
