Turning 65 is a significant milestone, and it opens the door to exciting new possibilities. It also marks the exciting (and sometimes confusing) world of Medicare eligibility. If you’ve been sitting around wondering any of the following questions…
I’m turning 65! What do I need to do?
Do I automatically get Medicare when I turn 65?
I’m about to turn 65! When do I apply for Medicare?
What happens to my Medicare disability when I turn 65?
Will my SSDI change when I turn 65?
And many, many more…
Don't worry – we're here to help! Enrolling in Medicare isn't automatic, but with the right information and a little planning, you can navigate the process smoothly and choose the coverage that best fits your needs. Even if you haven’t reached 65 yet, you can start preparing now by taking our quick and easy Medicare survey to get your Medicare Gameplan. Find out what you’re eligible for and receive the information you need to make Medicare enrollment simple and painless.
Medicare offers fantastic healthcare coverage for Americans over 65, but enrolling requires some proactive steps on your part. Although some people may be eligible for Medicare before age 65, for most, there is an initial enrollment period. This is your golden window to sign up for Medicare. It starts 3 months before your 65th birthday and lasts for 3 months after. Missing this window can lead to delays in coverage and potential penalties.
