To be eligible for Part A and Part B, also referred to as “Original Medicare”, you must be a U.S citizen or legal resident for at least 5 consecutive years AND one of the following: age 65 or older, under 65 with a qualifying disability, or any person diagnosed with end-stage renal disease or ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
