Key times to enroll in Medicare
It's important to know when you can enroll in a Medicare health insurance plan to avoid penalties or delays in coverage. Here are the key enrollment periods to keep in mind:
Initial Enrollment Period (IEP): This 7-month period surrounds your 65th birthday. It begins 3 months before you turn 65, includes the month of your birthday, and ends 3 months after
General Enrollment Period (GEP): If you missed the Initial Enrollment Period, you can enroll between January 1 and March 31 each year. Be aware that enrolling late may result in penalties for Part B coverage, which could increase your premiums
Special Enrollment Period (SEP): Certain life events, such as losing employer-sponsored health coverage, can trigger a Special Enrollment Period. This is especially relevant for North Carolina residents who may lose coverage when retiring or switching jobs
Annual Enrollment Period (AEP): From October 15 to December 7 each year, you can change your existing Medicare plan. This is your chance to review your current coverage and make adjustments based on your needs for the upcoming year
