Turning 65 brings exciting new changes – including the transition into Medicare. There are different Medicare plans that can offer great coverage at little or no additional cost depending on your specific needs. But, with so many Medicare plans available, it can be hard to decide which plan is right for you.

Medicare Enrollment Periods
When You Turn 65
When you are ready to enroll in a Medicare plan for the first time, you may have several questions! We host group classes to help educate patients on the difference between each plan. You can enroll in a Medicare plan three months prior to the month of your 65th birthday, during your birth month, and three months after. This is what we call the initial enrollment period, and it gives you the option to enroll in any Medicare plan.
Annual Enrollment
The annual enrollment period for all Medicare options runs from October 15 – December 7. During this time, you can enroll in any Medicare option for the next calendar year.
Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment
From January 1 – March 31, you can change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
Five-Star Plan Enrollment
You can enroll in any Medicare Advantage five-star plan from January 1 through November 30. See above for five-star Medicare Advantage programs.
