Medicare Enrollment Windows Explained
Medicare has strict enrollment windows. Enrolling outside these windows can result in permanent premium penalties or coverage gaps. Understanding which window applies to your situation is the first step.
Starts 3 months before the month you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and ends 3 months after. This is your primary window to enroll in Medicare without penalty. Enrolling in the first 3 months ensures coverage starts on time.
The main window to switch Medicare Advantage plans, switch from Medicare Advantage back to Original Medicare, join or change a Part D drug plan, or switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage.
You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you lose employer coverage, move to a new area, gain or lose Medicaid eligibility, or experience other qualifying life events. SEP windows vary by event type.
If you are already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or return to Original Medicare during this period. You cannot use OEP to switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage.
