Can you get Medicare if im in work compensation?

It depends on your specific situation and the amount of workers' compensation benefits you receive. Workers' compensation is a state program that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to workers who are injured or become ill while on the job. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older, people with certain disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

If you are receiving workers' compensation benefits, you may still be eligible for Medicare if you meet the age, disability, or ESRD requirements. However, your workers' compensation benefits may affect the amount of Medicare benefits you receive.

Specifically, if your workers' compensation benefits cover the cost of your medical care, you may not be eligible for Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) or Medicare Part B (medical insurance). However, you may still be eligible for Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage).

If you are unsure whether you are eligible for Medicare while receiving workers' compensation benefits, you should contact your state workers' compensation agency or the Social Security Administration (SSA). They can help you determine your eligibility and explain how your workers' compensation benefits may affect your Medicare coverage.
