Question Medicare for wife

Hi everyone,
I am receiving disability but living overseas.
My wife is a foreign national.

My question is if we would move to the states and my wife were younger than 65 years old how much would she need to pay in premiums to be insured?
(as a supplement of Medicare until she is 65)

CU

I have no idea. You might contact the state you plan to move to. I believe each state has different premiums. Good luck.

Ask about the medicare buy in program
I thought this was only available to Disabled and working individules though.QDWI

If she does not have disabilities, nor is not retired, until she is retirement age I have no idea if there is a plan through your coverage.
Perhaps they have something for you to pay,
Medicare for idividules with disabilities that work: Cost after the premium free period ends pay

BUT perhaps this program applies...
Premium hospital insurance (Part A) same monthly cost that unisured eligiable retired benficiaries pay, $393 if you have less than 30 quarters of coverage, or $216 if you have 30 or more quarters of coverage for 2006; and

you can buy premium Supplemental medical insurance (Part B) at the same monthly cost that uninsured eligiable retird beneficiaries pay, $88.50 for 2006;

You can buy hospital Insurance (Part A) separetly without medical insurance (Part B). You can buy Supplemental only if you also buy Hospital insurance Part A.

You may qualify for a reduction of your hospital insurance if you:\
Have 30 or more quarters of coverage on your earnings record; or

Have been married for at least 1 year to a worker with 30 or more quarters of ceoverage; or

Were married for at least 1 year to a deceased worker with 30 or more quarters of coverage; or

Are divorced, after at least ten years of marriage, from a worker who had 30 or more quarters of coverage at the time the divorce became final.

Red Book page 40-41


If she was on dependant beneftis prior to your marraige from a previous spouse this ended when you became husband and wife.
