Medicare is a federal health insurance program that primarily consists of four parts: Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (prescription drug coverage).
Understanding Medicare Enrollment
Medicare enrollment typically begins three months before you turn 65 and ends three months after your 65th birthday month. If you miss this initial enrollment period, you can sign up during the general enrollment period from January 1 to March 31 each year, with coverage starting July 1. It is important to enroll during your initial eligibility period to avoid late enrollment penalties.
