Your Medicare Readiness Check will help you:

1

Measure your enrollment readiness

See whether you understand your important Medicare dates, your enrollment responsibilities, and how your current coverage may affect when you should enroll.

2

Understand your coverage choices

Measure how comfortable you are with Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D—and the two main ways people receive their Medicare coverage.

3

Identify details that need attention

Discover whether you still need to review your doctors, prescriptions, potential costs, current insurance, or enrollment timeline before deciding.

Why preparing early matters

7 months

Your enrollment window

Your Initial Enrollment Period generally begins three months before the month you turn 65, includes your birthday month, and ends three months afterward.

Not automatic
for everyone

Some must sign up

Some people are enrolled automatically because they already receive certain Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits. Others must actively sign up.

6 months

A time-sensitive window

Under federal law, your one-time Medigap Open Enrollment Period generally lasts six months and begins the first month you have Part B and are 65 or older.

The choices you make when becoming eligible for Medicare can affect your coverage, costs, and future options. The goal of this assessment is to help you recognize the questions that deserve attention before you enroll.
