Exploring the ways individuals under the age of 65 can qualify for Medicare coverage.
Life's journey is filled with twists and turns, and when it comes to healthcare, it's no different. Medicare, often associated with the age of 65 and beyond, can become a vital part of your healthcare plan earlier than you might think. Let's look at few ways individuals under the age of 65 can qualify for Medicare coverage…
1. Disability
For some, the road to Medicare opens due to a disability. If you've received Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for 24 months or more, you automatically become eligible for Medicare, regardless of your age.
2. End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Individuals of any age with ESRD, a severe kidney condition requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, may also qualify for Medicare. Medicare can serve as a lifeline, covering essential treatments and services to manage this condition.
3. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is another condition that may lead to early Medicare eligibility. Individuals diagnosed with ALS are eligible for Medicare the same month they start receiving Social Security Disability benefits. This ensures they have access to comprehensive healthcare during their challenging journey with this disease.
