Understanding Medicare Enrollment Periods
Timing your enrollment correctly is the single most important factor in avoiding costly lifetime penalties.
Initial Enrollment Period (IEP)
3 months before your 65th birthday through 3 months afterThis is your primary window to enroll in Medicare Parts A and B. Missing it without a qualifying exception results in permanent premium penalties. We recommend starting the conversation with us at least 6 months before your birthday.
Special Enrollment Period (SEP)
Triggered by qualifying life eventsIf you have employer coverage through an active job at 65, you can delay Medicare without penalty. When that coverage ends, you have an 8-month SEP to enroll. We help you navigate the transition correctly so you never face a gap in coverage.
Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)
October 15 – December 7 each yearDuring AEP, you can switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage, switch between Advantage plans, or change your Part D drug plan. The Senior Health Stop conducts free annual reviews for all Gloucester County clients.
Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment
January 1 – March 31 each yearIf you're already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and want to switch or return to Original Medicare, this is your window. Changes take effect the first of the following month.
Common Medicare Enrollment Questions
When should I enroll in Medicare?
Your Initial Enrollment Period begins 3 months before your 65th birthday and ends 3 months after — a 7-month window. Missing this window can result in permanent late enrollment penalties. The Senior Health Stop helps Woodbury area seniors prepare 6 months in advance.
What happens if I miss my Medicare enrollment period?
Missing your enrollment window results in a permanent 10% Part B premium penalty for every 12-month period you delayed. You may also face a Part D penalty. Our agents in Woodbury help you avoid these costly mistakes.
Is Medicare enrollment assistance free?
Yes, completely free. By federal regulation, licensed Medicare agents are compensated by insurance carriers — not by seniors. The Senior Health Stop at (856) 388-2991 provides free enrollment assistance to all Gloucester County residents.
Can you help me enroll in Medicare if I'm still working?
Absolutely. If you have qualifying employer coverage at 65, you may be able to delay Part B without penalty. We assess your specific situation and give you a clear recommendation to avoid mistakes.
