All workers between ages 64 and below retirement who do not get Social Security benefits must note an important announcement from the Social Security Administration. To ensure you acquire Medicare coverage approach your 65th birthday without receiving Social Security Administration payments.
According to Social Security the appropriate time to reach them about your benefits is during the period before your 65th birthday. You need to enroll in Medicare regardless of whether you plan to claim retirement benefits at this time.
Social Security Reminds Workers of Special Enrollment Period

According to the Agency your eligibility for Medicare with employer group health plan coverage grants access to a Special Enrollment Period for Part B Medicare enrollment.
You do not need to wait for a GEP (General Enrollment Period) to delay Medicare Part B enrollment since this Special Enrollment Period solves both requirements. People who exploit this enrollment window will avoid paying late enrollment fees.
People who lack understanding about Medicare should know that this program is operated by the federal government through a health insurance system. The program exists to serve people aged 65 or above and those with specified disabilities.
Social Security explains who can get Medicare

For example, if you would like to get Medicare Part A, which has to do with hospital insurance, you must meet the following requirements:

you worked and paid enough Medicare taxes in a Government job

Any citizen who does not receive Medicare Part A benefits has the option to pay monthly premiums. Buy them only within scheduled enrollment periods.
