Sad Situation and Strange One.

[hope33709]

This guy is 68 on his wife disability insurance, has Part A, but NOT B, Wife drops disability insurance to go onto work plan. Now husband can not even sign up for Part B until January and can not get Medicare coverage until July 1st, 2015. He only qualifies for SEP in the Market Place until July 1st.
What am I missing?

Disability insurance? You are not very clear. Is it an individual health insurance policy?

You may be missing the possibility that the husband can go on to the wife's work plan and won't need part B right now.

Im confused How can he have been on wifes disability.

Unless its opposite, He was on her group and now she is going on disability.

then he is losing credible cov and should be allowed to enroll into part B.

Unless (as I am learning in another thread ) the group was less then 20
