Medicare Enrollment Help
Medicare has several different enrollment windows depending on your situation -- Initial, Special, and Annual -- and knowing which one applies to you matters.
Is this right for you?
- You're not sure which Medicare enrollment period applies to you right now
- You recently had a life change (retirement, moving, losing other coverage) that might open a window
- You want to avoid a late enrollment penalty
Your options
The 7-month window around your 65th birthday.
Opens after specific events, like losing employer coverage or moving.
Each fall, for changing Medicare Advantage or Part D plans for the next year.
Common questions
How do I know which enrollment period applies to me?
It depends on your age, current coverage, and any recent life changes -- an agent can walk through your specific situation.
Is there a penalty for enrolling late?
Potentially, for Part B and Part D specifically -- whether it applies depends on whether you had other qualifying coverage in the meantime.
Can I get help even if I already missed a window?
Yes -- an agent can help you understand your options, including whether a Special Enrollment Period or the next Annual Enrollment Period applies.
