RETIRING, TURNING 65?
MEDICARE
Wondering how Medicare
retirement works? There are
4 parts to Medicare: Part A
(Hospital), Part B (Medical),
Part C (Medicare Advantage
Plan, sold by a private
company) Part D
(Prescription Drug).
Your initial enrollment
period for Medicare (all parts) begins three months before
the month you turn 65 and lasts until the end of the third
month after your birthday month – a total of seven
months. If you don’t sign up during the initial window, you
can sign up between Jan. 1 and March 31 each year for
coverage that begins July 1. Failure to sign up during the
initial enrollment period, however, could result in
permanently higher premiums – unless you qualify for a
special enrollment period.
For more information contact Senior Resources on Aging
CHOICES program at 860-887-3561.
