If you’re turning 65 soon, you have an Initial Enrollment Period, which lasts seven months (three months before your birthday month, your birthday month, and three months after).
During this period, enroll in either Original Medicare (Parts A and B), Medicare Part D, or a Medicare Advantage Plan.
If you wait to enroll in the later months or after this Initial Enrollment Period, you may see a delay in coverage and/or penalties.
