When Should I Apply For Medicare?

Applying for Medicare at the right time is critical to obtaining coverage in a timely manner, while avoiding any unnecessary penalties.

The best time to apply for Medicare is during your Initial Enrollment Period, which is a seven-month window surrounding your 65th birthday.

This period includes the three months before your birth month, your birth month, and the three months following your birth month.

Applying during the Initial Enrollment Period ensures you'll get the coverage you need without incurring any late enrollment penalties.

It's important to note that if you're already receiving Social Security benefits, you may be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B when you turn 65.
