I dont believe you can...
part b is automatically taken out of your SSA check, you need to be retired or on disability to be on medicare and this is b/c you need to be drawing a check to pay for it. 8006334227 is medicare number call them to be 100% sure
You don't need to be retired/on disability for Medicare. You qualify for Medicare at age 65 with at least 40 quarters of Medicare contributions (through employment). If you aren't receiving/eligible for Social Security, you may send payments to CMS by check.
how do you pay for medicare part b if i am still working
Medicare beneficiaries pay premiums (most people do not have to pay a premium for Medicare Part A); also, working retirees pay Medicare payroll tax.
Social Security/Medicare will let you know whether/what you have to pay. Very few people have to pay for Part A; everyone pays for Part B.
During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Medicare Part A (hospitalization). When you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare, you can choose to enroll in Part B (medical/doctor's office). The premium for Part B for 2009 is $96.40 per month (if you make less than $85,000.00 per year) which is automatically deducted from your Social Security check.
Only if you have Medicare or Medicaid normally. If you were declared disabled, they will pay the bills.
Sure you do still pay your share of the FICA (social security and medicare) (OASDI) taxes on your earned income as long as you are providing your services to earn the income and are still breathing.
