Your providers must send Railroad Medicare Part B claims to the Part B contractor selected by RRB. Your doctors and other providers should bill a separate contractor for services covered under Part B.If you do not qualify for premium-free Part A, it will also be deducted from your check. If you receive Railroad Retirement benefits or railroad disability annuity checks, your Medicare Part B premium should be automatically deducted from your check each month. RRB will collect your Medicare premiums.Also, if you qualify for Medicare due to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), you should contact Social Security to enroll, even if you are a railroad worker. Whether you are eligible for Medicare and when it begins depends on how RRB classifies your disability. Part D covers most outpatient prescription drugs (drugs you fill at a pharmacy). Part D cannot pay for any of your drugs that are covered by Part B. Outpatient drugs previously paid for by Part B will continue to be paid for by Part B. If you are under 65 and have a disability, you will have to fulfill different eligibility requirements to qualify for Medicare. Part B also covers some outpatient prescription drugs, mainly certain oral cancer drugs (chemotherapy).These services can include a semi-private room, general nursing care, meals, medications, and others. If you are not collecting Railroad Retirement benefits when you turn 65, you should contact your local RRB field office to enroll in Medicare. Medicare Part A is premium-free for most recipients and covers your health care services while you are an inpatient in a hospital, skilled nursing care facility, or hospice facility that accepts Medicare assignment. You should receive your red, white, and blue Medicare card and a letter from RRB explaining that you have been enrolled in Medicare. If you are receiving Railroad Retirement benefits or railroad disability annuity checks when you become eligible for Medicare, RRB should automatically enroll you in Medicare Parts A and B. Your enrollment will be processed by the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) instead of by Social Security.There are a few important differences when you enroll in Medicare if you are or were a railroad worker.

You are typically eligible for Medicare if you are eligible for either Social Security benefits or Railroad Retirement benefits.
