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.

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.
What will you pay each month?
What's the most you could pay for covered medical services during the year?
Are your preferred providers in the plan's network?

Compare primary care, specialists, hospital, outpatient, urgent care and emergency costs.
What additional benefits and coverage limits are included?
Fitness, transportation and other benefits may be included depending on the plan.
