If you are receiving Social Security benefits, you already applied for Medicare and will get your card in the mail. Your are eligible on the first day of the month you turn 65. If you postponed Social Security, you need to contact that agency to apply for Medicare (Title XVIII of the Social Security Act) entitlement.
For accurate and unbiased information about Medicare, start with the Medicare.gov website. Be careful about, and skeptical of so-called “Medicare consultants “, who are for the most part insurance brokers.
