I meant medicaid not medicare. You're right curtisports2, I confused medicaid with medicare.
Medicare retroactive coverage?

I had a student health plan that ended mid December because I graduated. Open enrollment in CA ends on January 31 this year and I'm eligible to enroll in medicare. Once I enroll, coverage won't immediately kick in but a friend told me medicare can cover previous medical costs. Is this true? I have a painful ear infection that I want to get treated but I don't have health insurance right now.

If you are not 65 or older or have a disability that allows a younger person to qualify for Medicare, you cannot enroll in Medicare. You may qualify for Medicaid, which has 3 months retroactivity from the date you apply.

No, it is not true. Your friend is delusional. You need to buy medical insurance to cover the gap between mid Dec and when your new plan starts.

Medi-Cal CAN BE retroactive when you have a serious medical condition.
A painful ear infection that would cost about $58 to be seen at minute clinic and get the related antibiotics does not qualify.
= you don't need health insurance to cover a minor cost like this. If you don't have the $50-$100 to be seen at a place like minute clinic, go to a income based medical clinic. Without knowing where in CA you are, it's difficult to provide information. in Los Angeles, Harbor UCLA Medical Center has one.
Serious = tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

You don't need health insurance to get treated for an ear infection. You could probably get a place like MinuteClinic to give you a prescription for under $100.

I think you mean medicaid, not medicare. Medicaid will cover bills up to 3 months prior to your application date.
