If you are looking to get enrolled in Medicare, you will want to keep Social Security in mind. 

Jack Myers with Social Security indicates if you are enrolling in Medicare Parts A or B, you will do that through Social Security. He explains even if you're not planning to begin receiving your retirement benefits, you still can apply.

There is about a seven-month enrollment window to get enrolled and Myers encourages getting enrolled three months prior to turning 65. He also points if you are receiving Social Security benefits, you will automatically be enrolled into Medicare Parts A and B.

According to Myers, Medigap plans, Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicare Part D plans are all enrolled separately from Social Security.

Myers says it can make sense for someone who is still working or has a spouse who is still working and they are covered by a group healthcare plan to delay signing up for Medicare. In that scenario, you can visit ssa.gov/benefits/medicare.
