If you are still working when you turn age 65 and are covered under a large group insurance plan (over 20 lives), you may want to defer signing up for Medicare. A large group plan is primary (which would pay first) to Medicare. If you are covered under a small group plan (under 20 lives) then Medicare is Primary to the group plan. In this instance you’d want to sign up for Original Medicare A & B.
