I withdrew my application for social security last November stage 65 because I earned too much.I was told that I could reapply at age 66. I received notification in July 2018 that they accepted my withdrawal.I received a new Medicare part a card the same day stating my coverage stated Jan 1,2018.. I was recently hospitalised in August Medicare denied my claim .I called them they had no record from the hospital and advised me to contact Social Security after 3 phone calls and 5 hours of waiting Ihung up what should I do.

Hi,

I can't give you a definite answer because I'm not sure of the problem involved. If you filed for Medicare with the same application that you applied for Social Security benefits, then your Medicare eligibility may have been inadvertently withdrawn as part of your withdrawal request. In that case, you may need to reapply for Medicare.

The other possibility if your Medicare entitlement has been withdrawn would be to ask Social Security to cancel your withdrawal request, at least with regard to your Medicare entitlement. You're normally only permitted to cancel a withdrawal request within 60 days of the withdrawal approval, but the deadline can sometimes be extended for good cause.

If your Medicare entitlement was not withdrawn as part of your withdrawal request then I don't know why your claim for your hospital visit would have been denied. Regardless, though, you'll almost certainly need to get in touch with Social Security in order to resolve the problem. You'll likely either need to keep trying to reach them by phone, or you could try visiting your nearest office.

Best, Jerry
