Can Same-Sex Couples enroll in Medicare Part B?
If your partner has an employer-sponsored health insurance plan, you can access Medicare Part B through the plan. This is one of the effects of the supreme court’s decision in 2015. People older than 65 years can also access Medicare Part B. Fortunately, Medicare Part B [5] does not need a work history from applicants. The plan pays for medical services, such as:
- Durable medical equipment
- Doctors’ visits
- Preventive care
- Lab tests
- Outpatient care
