Do These Things to Make the Most of Medicare This Year
At a time when there's a pandemic raging, it's more important than ever to stay on top of your health. That includes managing your Medicare benefits appropriately. Here are a few important things you can do to maximize your Medicare this year.
Though Medicare eligibility doesn't begin until you turn 65, you're allowed to enroll up to three months before the month of your 65th birthday. In fact, your initial enrollment window spans seven months total, wrapping up on the third month after the month of your 65th birthday.
Enrolling on time is important because if you miss your window this year, you won't be allowed to sign up until Medicare's general enrollment period, which begins in January of 2022. At that point, your coverage won't kick in until July of next year.
