Does this mean, that if one is 60, on medicare, that when that person is 65, and has been on medicare, that they THEN WON'T BE COVERED UNDER THEIR HMO (for IVIG I mean)??
Why is this? Why should there be a change when a person turns 65, if they have been on medicare for years before they turned 65??
Thanks,

My "best guess" is because at 65 your catagory changes.
The people that I know who were receiving Disability checks from Soc Sec were automatically switched to regular retirement SS classification upon reaching age 65.
