65 - not eligible for Medicare - Help

[TheSalesWolf]

I have a 65 year old woman who just got US Citizenship and is not eligible for Medicare.
Does anyone know of any Individual Insurance Carriers that will take a 65 year old?

No. I do know that people can "buy into Medicare" who are in that situation.

Don't deal with seniors so I don't know the particulars...

Maybe a senior "expert" would know?

I do!

I do!

I don't think he was talking about a marriage proposal. What do you mean by, "I do?" You're a senior expert?

I have a similar situation, any help?

They can buy Part A for up to $423 per month and Part B for the usual rates ($96.40 if their individual income is less then $82K).

See page 110 in the 2008 Medicare and you book (may be a different page in the print form as mine is on 112)

After they get A+B they are in the norm in buying other Medicare insurance products.

Other then this method, I do not know of any other insurance that will carry anyone past 65 unless they get group coverage.

There are policies available for recent immigrants that are offered by companies that sell travel insurance. This may be a less expensive option, but a much less comprehensive one.

I'd go with Midwestbroker's solution if it were my client.http://www.insurance-forums.net/forum/members/midwestbroker.html

I tried running this scenario through IMG and they rejected the application.
