title. Can I delay enrollment in Medicare without a penalty if I’m covered under Reliant’s medical plan?

YES, you can delay enrollment in Medicare without a penalty if you're covered under Reliant's medical plan. 

See https://www.medicare.gov/sign-up-change-plans/how-do-i-get-parts-a-b/should-i-get-parts-a-b for additional information.  

Excerpted section from the Medicare website re: this answer: “People with group health coverage based on current employment may be able to delay Part A and Part B and won’t have to pay a lifetime late enrollment penalty if they enroll later. If you want to delay both Part A and Part B coverage, you don’t need to do anything when you turn 65."
