When Can I Sign Up?

Initial Enrollment Period (Turning 65)

You can sign up for Medicare when you are first eligible for Part B.  You are able to sign up 3 months before you turn 65.  By signing up early your coverage will start the month that you turn 65.  You also have 3 months after the month you turn 65 to sign up for coverage, but by doing this your start date for coverage will be delayed.

General Enrollment Period

If you didn’t sign up for Part A or Part B when you were first eligible when turning 65, you can sign up between January 1 – March 31 each year.  Though you may have a higher premium for late enrollment.  Please check with Medicare.gov to get further information on the premiums for late enrollment.
