How to sign up for Medicare
in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
Hey guys, I could really use some help here
So, I’m the only employee at my place, and it’s been about 10 days since I officially registered the business and got myself on the books with Medicare... but they told me I don't actually *have* to sign up for health coverage, though apparently "if I want to, I can"?!
Naturally, I didn't bother signing up, but now I'm looking at my status and it still shows me as unemployed under the health system.
Does this whole automatic enrollment thing actually work, or is Medicare going to just register me whenever they feel like it? And what happens if I suddenly need to take sick leave and the system thinks I'm just some jobless person wandering around?!
P.S. I don't even have one of those digital health apps or anything, I just grabbed a physical form and filed it with Medicare, so now I'm sitting here wondering if the paperwork is actually going to make its way over to the main office without a massive headache...
