Understanding the Medicare Enrollment Periods

One of the most crucial aspects of Medicare is knowing when to enroll. Making a mistake here can lead to delays in coverage and even permanent late enrollment penalties. We are here to help you understand the key enrollment periods:

• Initial Enrollment Period (IEP): This is the first time you can enroll in Medicare. It’s a seven-month period that begins three months before your 65th birthday month, includes your birthday month, and ends three months after. Enrolling during this time ensures that your coverage begins on time without any penalties. If you are eligible for Medicare due to a disability, your IEP is based on the 25th month of receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits. We will help you navigate this critical window.
• Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): Also known as the Open Enrollment Period, this runs from October 15th to December 7th each year. During the AEP, anyone with Medicare can switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan, switch from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another, or enroll in a Medicare Part D Plan. We provide expert Medicare Plan Comparison services during this time to help you review your existing coverage and find a better plan for the coming year.
• Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period: This period runs from January 1st to March 31st each year. During this time, if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can switch to a different Medicare Advantage Plan or drop it to go back to Original Medicare (and a Part D plan). This provides a valuable second chance if you are not happy with your AEP choice.
• Special Enrollment Period (SEP): There are specific circumstances that allow you to enroll in or change a Medicare plan outside of the standard enrollment periods. These can include moving to a new area, losing other creditable coverage, or a change in your living situation. We will help you determine if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period and guide you through the process.
