Do you need Medicare Part B?
There are certain situations where you may not need Medicare Part B. For example, if you have employer-provided health insurance through your own or your spouse’s current employment, and the insurance meets certain requirements, you may be able to delay enrolling in Part B without facing a late enrollment penalty. Also, you need to be enrolled in Medicare Part B if you want to sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan.
