I applied for Medicare but was not approved because I am short a few more credits and because of my status (E visa). I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years, although I have to have lived in the U.S. for the past 5 years. I have paid my taxes and was told that some people have been approved for the same visa.
I can appeal within 60 days if I disagree with this result, but I will be returning to Japan for more than 2 months for medical treatment. If anyone knows of a specialist who can help me with an appeal in this type of case, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Tax Man was kind enough to write to you earlier.
Below is a quote from Tax Man's advice.

＞ I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, so when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.


Tax payment has nothing to do with it. All investors pay taxes.
You are only eligible for Social Security and Medicare if you have the same VISA as the person
whose VISA you are, but he or she has paid Social Security and Medicare properly.

In Japan, people who have not paid their pensions or who have less than 10 years of pension eligibility are ineligible for
benefits.

If you do not have enough credits, you cannot receive the pension.

It's strange that you insist so much
when you can only get the bare minimum of medical care when you get Medicare.

If you go back to Japan for treatment, medical care is better than in Hawaii, and
the cost of medical care is very reasonable, so I simply wonder why you are so concerned about Medicare.

Why do you want Medicare when Hawaii hospitals are full of misdiagnosis and are the worst ？?

It doesn't cost money.
