Turning 65 soon? One of the most common questions people ask is: âWhen can I enroll in Medicare?â
Here are two key times you may be eligible to enroll in Medicare:
â Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)â¨You have a 7-month window around your 65th birthday to sign up. 3 months before you turn 65, and 3 months after the month you turn 65.
â Special Enrollment Period (SEP)â¨If you or your spouse retire and lose employer health insurance coverage, you may qualify to enroll outside of your initial enrollment period. You have an 8 month SEP to apply for a Medicare.
â° Enrolling at the right time is important to avoid potential penalties and gaps in coverage.
