Premium free Part A is always retroactive up to six months, but obviously would never be effective earlier than the month the person is eligible for Medicare. But unless a person is contributing to an HSA there’s really no reason that a later Part A effective date would be helpful to a beneficiary.Aw okay, that explains the retroactive date!
Is the Pt A always retroactive when signing up in the 3 months after birth month or could someone choose to have Pt A start along with the Pt B at the later date? I hope that made sense.
