Buying Part A & Part B

[tcianflone]

Any experience with clients who don't have enough work credits to get Part A as an entitlement? This is an American citizen turning 65 but short on work credits that I'm working with. He's got the money and is happy to buy Part A & Part B. What's the process? Do I just enroll them in Part A/B and wait to see what kind of bill CMS sends them? Thanks for any insight.

You don't enroll him in anything. Send him to Social Security for that and then step in when that is done.
