The Medicare Enrollment Mistake That Could Haunt You for Life
If you miss a key deadline, it could spell long-term trouble.
Overview
A lot of people know that age 65 is generally when Medicare eligibility kicks in. And you might assume that you should sign up for coverage on your 65th birthday.
You could do that, but you don't have to. Your initial Medicare enrollment window spans seven months. You can enroll up to three months before the month of your 65th birthday or up to three months after without having to worry about being late.
