You're Eligible to Enroll

 

Your 65th Birthday

Your information is secure and will not be used for any other purpose.

Last Month to Enroll

 

First Steps

Pre-planning Phase

 
$ icon

Financial Planning

Take some time to identify any sources of income available to you during retirement, such as Social Security payments, pensions and benefits from past employers, annuities, insurance payouts etc.

 
 

HELPFUL HINT

Remember, healthcare planning is an important part of your overall retirement strategy. You must protect your savings against unexpected medical costs.

 

Next Steps

Plan Selection Phase

 
Coverage icon

Coverage That Matters to You

Write down what you like about your current health coverage. No referrals? Prescription drug coverage? Dental benefits? This will give you an idea of what to look for in a Medicare plan.

 
Hospital icon

Find a Doctor

When selecting a plan, it pays to check and see if your doctor, specialists and hospitals are included in the network. Or, call us at 1-888-832-0046 (TTY 711)* and we'll be glad to see if your doctor(s) are included.

Final Steps

Enrollment
Phase

 
A + B icon

Apply for Original Medicare

Apply for Medicare benefits (Parts A and B) if retiring at age 65 (and not already receiving Social Security benefits).

 

Helpful Hint

To avoid delays in your coverage, be sure you’re enrolled in Social Security and Medicare Part A and Part B before your 65th birthday. You can actually enroll in a Medicare health plan 3 months before your birthday. Waiting until your actual birth month will delay your coverage by at least another month.
