New to Medicare?

When you turn age 65.

Your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) is your first window for signing up. The exact dates of your IEP depend on your date of birth, or on the date you began receiving disability benefits.

When you Retire or lose your employer health coverage

Your chance to join lasts for 2 full months after the month you lose your creditable coverage or you're notified that your current coverage is no longer creditable, whichever is later

If you Move?

If you move to an address out of you plans service area.

If you move to an address that’s still in your plans service area but now I have more plan options.

If you just moved into, out of or currently live in an institution such as skilled nursing facility or long term care hospital.

If you tell your plan before you move, your chance to switch plans begins the month before the month you move and continues for 2 full months after you move.

If you tell your plan after you move, your chance to switch plans begins the month you tell your plan, plus 2 more full months
