Initial Enrollment Period: If eligible at age 65, the initial enrollment period spans three months before your 65th birthday, includes your birth month, and ends three months after your birth month.
Enrollment occurs automatically for some, and others must sign up for it; this is dependent on your social security benefits. Most people should enroll in Med A (Part A) when they first become eligible. Med B requires a premium for coverage, so people may choose to delay enrollment. If you have other health coverage options, you may choose to opt-out as well.
General Enrollment Period: Annual: January 1st – March 31st. If you do not enroll in Med B during the initial enrollment period, you can enroll every year during the general enrollment period.
