Wondering if you can start Medicare at 62? This is a common question I hear at K C Legacy Insurance Solutions as we guide individuals through their health coverage options. Typically, Medicare eligibility begins at age 65, unless you qualify earlier due to specific health conditions. For those planning to retire before 65, it’s important to know your alternatives—options like Medicaid, ACA marketplace plans, COBRA, or coverage through a spouse’s employer may help bridge the gap. However, keep in mind that ACA plans are expected to become more expensive in 2026 with the expiration of current subsidies. For those preparing for Medicare, the standard Part B premium is $202.90 per month. My goal is to help you understand these details so you can make informed, confident choices about your healthcare and financial future.
