Enrollment Periods
Understanding Medicare enrollment periods is crucial to ensure you have the coverage you need at the right time.
- Initial Enrollment Period (IEP): This is the seven-month period that begins three months before the individual turns 65, includes the month they turn 65, and continues for three months after.
- General Enrollment Period (GEP): If someone misses their IEP, they can enroll during the GEP, which runs from January 1 to March 31 each year.
- Special Enrollment Period (SEP): This is available for those who qualify due to certain life events, such as moving, losing other health coverage, or qualifying for Extra Help with prescription drug costs.
