Medicare and Social Security are linked. Many beneficiaries do not find this out until they go to sign up for Medicare.

It is important to plan how you want to approach your Medicare and Social Security sign up dates – once you make a decision, you really can’t take it back!

When I sign up for social security can I just take medicare plan A and opt out of plan B since I have FEHB full coverage?

I just read up on Medicare part A and it looks like there are Medicare part A deductibles of around $1600 that reset every 60 days for hospitalization. At this time with kaiser FEHB I don't have any big deductibles ($50 to $100) and only small co-pays($15). Like most people I don't have a fat savings account to pull deductibles from. So it looks more and more that I would be better off not using Medicare A and I don't need part B because my Kaiser covers everything except dental. The other concern I have is if Kaiser and Medicare disagree on a procedure that I can get now would leave me out in the cold and/or having to pay for something that is currently covered.
