For You

Today we are diving into the most common mistakes people make when signing up for Medicare. Learn about the biggest mistake people make—missing the enrollment window. At 65, you have a seven-month Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), including three months before and after your birthday month. We will discuss how your IEP may shift if your birthday falls on the first of the month. If you miss your IEP, you may face higher premiums and financial penalties the longer you wait. However, there is a General Enrollment Period from January 1 to March 31, though your coverage won't start until July, and you'll still face late enrollment penalties.
