Medicare is health insurance provided by the federal government. It's available to people on disability and to all Americans 65 or over, regardless of health or income, to cover or lower the costs of staying healthy.
When you enroll in Medicare, you can choose from:
Medicare coverage changes from year to year, and your plan’s benefits might change too. Comparing Medicare plans could result in cost savings and/or expanded benefits for the following year.
Know your key dates for coverage enrollment:
The initial enrollment period is a 7-month period that includes three months before you turn 65, your birth month and three months after you turn 65.
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) occurs each fall from October 15 - December 7, during which you can join, drop or change Medicare coverage.
The Medicare Annual Election Period (October 15 – December 7) allows patients covered by Medicare to alter or add to their plans. You may want to explore your options and consider changing your current Medicare coverage to help manage co-pays and other out-of-pocket medical expenses.
