There are specific enrollment periods for Medicare. The Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) starts three months before you turn 65 and ends three months after the month you turn 65. There are also Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs) for those who qualify, and the General Enrollment Period (GEP) from January 1 to March 31 each year.
How do I choose between different Medicare plans?

Choosing between different Medicare plans involves comparing the benefits, costs, network of providers, coverage options, and drug formularies (list of covered drugs) of each plan. You may also consider factors like additional benefits offered by Medicare Advantage plans, such as dental, vision, and wellness programs.

Medicare coordinates benefits with most other types of insurance. If you have other health insurance, Medicare will determine whether it is the primary or secondary payer depending on the situation.
