I’m turning 65. Will I start receiving Medicare?

To qualify for Medicare, you must be either a US citizen or a permanent resident who has resided continuously in the United States for a minimum of five years. However, even if you are under the age of 65, you may still be eligible for Medicare benefits. Determine your eligibility by taking our insightful quiz designed to assess your qualification for immediate Medicare coverage.

During your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), spanning seven months, you have the opportunity to enroll in Medicare without incurring any late enrollment penalties. This period commences three months prior to your 65th birthday, includes your birthday month, and extends for three months following your birthday month. By enrolling within this timeframe, you can ensure a smooth transition into either Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) or a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C).
