3. You are going to need to make an appointment with Social Security

you can try and call 1-800-772-1213.

Generally, if you're a U.S. citizen or have been a legal resident for at least 5 years, you can still get full Medicare benefits at age 65 or older by:

Paying premiums for Part A. The maximum premium was 411 in 2016, but it depends on your work credits. The more work credits you have, the less premium you pay.

Part B should be the same payment as normal qualifying Meicare recipeints, an is Part D.

You can enroll in Part B without buying Part A, but if you buy into A, you must enroll in B.

Paying the same monthly premiums for Part B, which covers doctor visits and other outpatient services, as other enrollees pay.

Paying the same monthly premium for Part D prescription drug coverage as others enrolled in the drug plan you choose.

Check with Social security, make an in person appointment. you need to find out where you stand.

I know if I wanted to move to Canada or the UK or Ireland for example, it is not a given that I would have access to the NHS.
