The plans must be clearly identified as Medicare Supplemental insurance and must provide specific benefits that help fill the gaps in Original Medicare coverage. Other types of insurance may help you with out-of-pocket health care costs but they do not qualify as Medigap plans.

Either you are automatically enrolled or you must apply. If you are getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits before you turn 65, you are automatically enrolled and your Medicare card will be mailed to you about three months before your 65th birthday.
If you are not receiving retirement benefits, you must apply by contacting a Social Security Administration office or, if appropriate, the Railroad Retirement Board. You should apply three months before your 65th birthday to avoid a possible delay in the start of your coverage. If you have been a disabled beneficiary under Social Security or Railroad Retirement for 24 months, you will automatically get a Medicare card in the mail.
