Your Birthday Month: Coverage starts the 1st of the following month.
3 Months After: Sign up during this tail-end, and coverage starts the month after you enroll.

Special Enrollment Period (SEP)

After your IEP is over, you may have a chance to sign up for Medicare during a special enrollment period. Check with Tam to see if you qualify for a special enrollment period.

General Enrollment Period (Jan 1 -March 31)

If you missed your IEP and if you do not qualify for an SEP, you can sign up for Part B during the General Enrollment period. When you sign up during the General Enrollment Period, your coverage starts the first day of the month after you sign up.

Monthly Premiums

You usually don't pay a monthly premium for Part A, if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes while working for a certain period of time. Part B is different. Most people pay the standard Part B premium every month. This premium begins once you enroll into Medicare when you become eligible. Many people are not aware of this Part B premium.
