Are You Prepared for Medicare Enrollment?
|
The “Baby Boomers” generation of Americans born in the years following World War II represent one of the largest generations in our nation’s history. With this generation becoming older and reaching the age of 65, the number of new enrollees into Medicare continues to rise.
More than ever before, it is necessary to ensure you keep track of deadlines and prepare if you are turning 65 in the near future or are already enrolled in Medicare.
- Medicare enrollment lasts for a 7-month period that begins 3 months prior to turning 65. To find the Social Security office closest to you, or to apply online, visit www.ssa.gov or www.medicare.gov.
- September and October is the best time of the year to review your current plan, and starting on October 15, open enrollment begins and changes can be made to current plans until December 7. If you are interested in making a change to your Medicare coverage, visit www.medicare.gov and use the “Medicare Plan Finder” to search for different options.
My office is here to help with issues you may be experiencing with Medicare. We can help provide you with resources to guide you through the process of enrolling, as well as assist with issues you are having with your current plan. We can also help you in setting up your appointment at the Social Security office to enroll in Medicare. Learn more about how my office can help you navigate Medicare by calling my Wilmington office at (937) 283-7049.
