Turning 65 Guidance

Approaching your 65th birthday? Rusty walks you through your Initial Enrollment Period timing, plan options, and the steps to enroll without late-enrollment penalties.

What's Included

Turning 65 Guidance in Plain English

Your Initial Enrollment Period starts three months before your 65th birthday month and ends three months after. Missing those windows can trigger lifelong late-enrollment penalties on Part B and Part D.

Rusty builds a timeline around your specific situation: still working with employer coverage, retiring at 65, covering a spouse, or already drawing Social Security. Then he walks you through the right enrollment steps in order.

  • Personalized Initial Enrollment Period timeline based on your birthday
  • Employer-coverage coordination so you do not lose group benefits early
  • Advantage vs. Supplement walk-through tailored to your doctors
  • Step-by-step enrollment help so you never miss a window

Common Questions

Good to Know

Six months before your 65th birthday is ideal. There is no charge to start early, and it gives time to compare carefully.

It depends on whether you have qualifying employer coverage. Rusty will tell you if a Special Enrollment Period applies.
