Enrollment Guide
Medicare Part A enrollment is typically automatic when you turn 65, but you must apply within 8 months of your 65th birthday to avoid late penalties.
Part B enrollment is available during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which is a 7-month window starting 3 months before your 65th birthday.
Special enrollment periods (SEPs) are available if you lose your coverage through an employer or union group, or if you move outside your home state.
Eligibility is determined by age, disability, and specific circumstances. We can help you verify your status and ensure you enroll in the right coverage.
