I retired in Uruguay but am now contemplating returning to the US. I didn't sign up for Part B Medicare at 65 because I saw no purpose in paying over $100 per month for insurance I could not use here. I did receive a Part A enrollment card from Medicare in the mail.
I am trying to ascertain whether I will have to pay any penalties for coverage when I return and also if I have to wait until Jan 1 to sign up. What would I do for insurance if I return in, say, September? This would best be answered by an expat who has personal knowledge of this situation. Thanks!

The U.S. embassy in Portugal where I live has a section devoted to SS and related stuff. In my case I would take my questions there first as they have been helpful in the past.
Does the embassy in Uruguay have such a section? Look into it.

Yes, the Embassy in Montevideo has that same special section. I will go there to make inquiries.
Thank you for replying.
