When to Enroll in Medicare in Tampa

Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) begins 3 months before the month you turn 65 and ends 3 months after—a 7-month window. Enrolling during the first 3 months ensures coverage starts on your 65th birthday month.

If you're still working with employer coverage when you turn 65, you may delay Medicare enrollment. When your employer coverage ends, you'll have an 8-month Special Enrollment Period to sign up for Part B without penalty.

The Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 - December 7) lets you change Medicare Advantage or Part D plans. Changes take effect January 1.
