You've probably done everything together as a married couple for quite some time. So it's understandable that you'd want to know if you and your spouse can both sign up for Medicare.
People who are about to enroll in Medicare frequently ask me this question. It is not possible to sign up both the person and their spouse simultaneously.
Medicare eligibility is a personal matter. Let's have a look at why. The prerequisites for Medicare eligibility and the initial open enrollment period are linked to your birthday. All services are tracked individually, such as the number of office visits or the dollar limits for services.
You have a seven-month window to sign up for Medicare around your 65th birthday, which may overlap with your spouse's sign-up window. Even if this happens, you might choose the same type of plan at the same moment, but not the same plan.
You won't be missing out on any special discounts or tariffs just because you're a pair. Individual plans are the only ones offered by Medicare. You'll all be charged at the same rate as individuals.
