Hello Toni,
I am new to your column. Extremely informative! I am turning 65 next March and am puzzled about Medicare’s seven-month enrollment period. I’ve heard that this period is only for Medicare Part B and that confuses me because I do not know how to enroll in Medicare’s Part A.
I do not know how the seven-month window works. How soon can I enroll? Can I enroll in Medicare Part A and B together? I work part-time and am not eligible for company benefits, so I want to enroll ASAP. Please explain what I should do. Thanks.
