Often referred to as medical insurance, Medicare Part B is designed to help you pay for things like doctor visits and outpatient care. Medicare Part B doesn’t come free, but it does make paying the premiums easy, because it automatically pulls the cost of the premium from your Social Security check each month.
If you are receiving retirement benefits before age 65 or qualify for Medicare through disability, generally you’re automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B as soon as you become eligible. Keep in mind that not every cost is covered.
