Medicare: When to Enroll?You can only enroll in Medicare during certain times in the year:
Initial Enrollment PeriodYou may initially enroll in Medicare during the 7-month period that starts 3 months before the month you turn 65, includes the month you turn 65, and ends 3 months after the month you turn 65. If you’re close to 65, and are getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits, you’ll automatically enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B coverage once you're eligible. Part B has a monthly premium, which you can choose to drop if you'd like. To learn about coverage options for Medicare, scroll down to the "Which Medicare Plan Do I Choose? " section. If you missed your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) and need to enroll in Medicare, you likely will have to enroll during either a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) or the General Enrollment Period (GEP). General Enrollment PeriodIf you did not enroll in Medicare when you originally became eligible for it (or during a Special Enrollment Period), you can sign up during the General Enrollment Period (GEP). The GEP takes place January 1 through March 31 each year, with coverage starting July 1. You may face a late penalty for enrolling during the GEP instead of when you first became eligible. Special Enrollment PeriodIf you missed the Initial Enrollment Period and the General Enrollment Period, you may qualify for coverage during a Special Enrollment Period when certain life events occur. Ways to EnrollThere are a few ways to enroll in Medicare, depending on which plan you'd like to proceed with. For Original Medicare (Part A & Part B), you can enroll by:

Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment PeriodJanuary 1 – March 31, 2023 is the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. If you’ve enrolled
in a Medicare Advantage Plan during the Open Enrollment Period and change your mind, you can switch to Original Medicare (Parts A & B) or to a different Medicare Advantage Plan during this time. Which Medicare Plan Do I Choose?When you first enroll in Medicare, you can choose how you get your Medicare coverage. There are two options for you to pick from: 1.) Original Medicare includes Hospital (Part A) and Medical (Part B) insurance. To add drug coverage, you can add Part D. Additionally, adding a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy will help lower your out-of-pocket costs. 2.) Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an alternative to Original Medicare, and is purchased through private insurance companies. These plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. Most plans have additional benefits— hearing, vision, dental, and more. You can change your Medicare coverage during the Medicare Open Enrollment Period or during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period.
