Turning 65? Already on Medicare?

Medicare can feel complicated. We're here to make it easier to understand.

Whether you're approaching Medicare for the first time or reviewing your current coverage during Open Enrollment, get clear information to help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your healthcare coverage.

Turning 65 in Idaho?

Your 65th birthday is an important Medicare milestone.

For most people, the Initial Enrollment Period begins three months before the month you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and continues for three months afterward. 

This is the time to understand Medicare, determine when you need to enroll, and consider the coverage options available to you.


 Start Before You Turn 65

Understanding your options early can help you avoid coverage gaps and potential late-enrollment penalties.

Already have Medicare? Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your Medicare health and prescription drug coverage for the coming year.

Plans can change from year to year — and your healthcare needs and prescriptions can change too.

During Open Enrollment, you may be able to change your Medicare Advantage or prescription drug coverage for the following year.


Review Your Coverage Every Year

Don't automatically assume that the plan you have today will continue to meet your needs next year.

The lowest premium isn't always the lowest overall cost. Compare your healthcare needs, doctors, prescriptions, costs and benefits together.

Don't Compare Medicare Plans by Premium Alone
