Which statement is true about Part B enrollment?

• A. Easy to enroll
• B. You must have medical history
• C. You must pay more than Part A
• D. Enrollment is not automatic

Answer: (A)

Part B enrollment is designed to be straightforward to access coverage. For many people, enrollment happens automatically if you’re already enrolled in Part A and receiving Social Security benefits at age 65 or due to disability, so you don’t have to do anything. If automatic enrollment doesn’t apply, you can sign up easily during the Initial Enrollment Period around your 65th birthday or when you first become eligible, and you can complete the process online, by phone, or in person with the Social Security Administration. There’s no medical history or health exam required to enroll; you simply sign up and start paying the Part B premium. The other statements don’t fit because medical history isn’t needed to enroll, you don’t have to pay more than Part A to enroll (Part B has its own premium, but that’s not a requirement to enroll), and enrollment can be automatic in many cases, so saying it’s not automatic isn’t universally true.
