The age requirement for Medicare is 65, so once you hit that age, you’ll be ready to apply and enroll. If you are under age 65 and still need to get Medicare benefits, you still can. This is how.

Medicare For People Under 65 in Idaho

People under 65 in Idaho can still  qualify for Medicare . To do so, they must have been diagnosed with a qualifying disability. In most cases, there is a two-year waiting period requirement as well. After being diagnosed, potential applicants must collect Social Security Disability benefits for at least 24 months. Then they will become eligible for Medicare. In some cases, it is possible to qualify under age 65 without waiting 24 months. People who have been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis can enroll in Medicare just a few months after being diagnosed. Similarly, people with an End-Stage Renal Disease diagnosis can get started with Medicare soon after they’ve begun receiving treatment.
