How long does it take to receive the call for Medicare?

medicaid_questionQ) How long does it take to receive the call for Medicare? I applied maybe like 2 weeks ago and i haven’t received a call?

A) According to the Social Security Administration, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to process a Medicare application. However, there are a few things that can affect the processing time, such as the time of year you apply, the complexity of your application, and the availability of records. If you have not received a call from Medicare after 6 weeks, you can call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to check on the status of your application.

Here are some tips to help you get your Medicare application processed more quickly:

  • Apply as soon as you are eligible. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will be able to get the benefits you need.
  • Make sure you have all of the required documentation. The Social Security Administration will need to verify your identity and eligibility for Medicare.
  • Be patient. It may take a few weeks to process your application.

According to the Medicare Website – If you sign up for Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/or Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) during the first 3 months of your Initial Enrollment Period, your coverage starts the first day of your birthday month, unless your birthday is on the first day of the month.
