​

1. I’m new to Medicare. How do I sign up?

​

If you're over 65 (or turning 65 in the next 3 months) and not already getting benefits from Social Security, you need to sign up to get Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). You won't get Medicare automatically. Contact the Social Security Administration by phone, online or in person to sign up.

​

2. When is the Medicare Open Enrollment Period?

​

October 15 through December 7 each year. Changes you make during this period will take effect on January 1.

If you already have a Medicare Advantage Plan, there is an additional enrollment period from January 1 to March 31 each year when you can switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan or switch back to Original Medicare.
