You must apply for Part A through the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA sends your application via mail, so you may need to provide proof of mailing address and return receipt requested if you’re applying outside of a U.S. city with an option to receive mail at a post office box instead of an apartment building or home address; otherwise, they won’t accept it as proof that they’ve been received in good condition.
After receiving approval from Medicare—and paying any required premiums—you’ll receive two notices: one confirming your authorization as well as instructions on how to schedule an appointment for further review; another confirming that all necessary paperwork has been received and processed; still, another informing you when it will take six weeks or longer before payment begins flowing into your bank account each month.

Part D is a prescription drug benefit offered by the federal government and administered through private insurance companies. It helps pay for most of your out-of-pocket expenses related to prescription drugs—such as copays, coinsurance fees, and deductibles—while providing access to generic medicines if they cost less than $4 per month.
Medicare Part D is optional: Most people enroll in it, but there’s no penalty if you don’t have health insurance coverage during any given year (as long as premiums are paid). However, even if coverage isn’t required by law at any point during your life cycle (which happens when someone turns 65), signing up now will make it easier when accessing medical care becomes necessary because everyone has access then too!
