Initial Enrollment Period
Special Enrollment Periods
Annual Election Period
This crucial seven-month window surrounds your 65th birthday month. Enrolling on time prevents lifetime late-enrollment penalties for Part B and Part D coverage.
Life changes like moving or losing employer coverage may qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to sign up outside standard windows.
Each year from October 15th to December 7th, you can review and change your Medicare Advantage or Part D plans for the upcoming year.
Thoughtful planning ensures your coverage aligns perfectly with your doctors and medications, minimizing unexpected costs and maximizing your benefits.
Gathering Your Medicare Details
Before comparing plans, compile a complete list of your current doctors, specialists, and their networks. This ensures continuity of care and avoids unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Equally important is a precise list of all prescription medications, including dosages. This allows for accurate Part D plan comparisons, preventing gaps in coverage or higher drug expenses.
