Medicare Annual Enrollment – Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2023

A 60-second read by the Baron Team:  Medicare is health insurance for individuals who are 65 and older, under 65 with certain disabilities, or those who have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Amyotrophic Sclerosis (ALS). The Medicare annual open enrollment period for the 2024 Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription plans begins Oct. 15, 2023, and runs through December 7, 2023.  You can change your Medicare Advantage and Part D plans without special enrollment requirements.

The 2024 Medicare Parts A & B premiums and deductibles will be available in the latter part of the Annual Enrollment period at cms.gov.  

If you are applying for Medicare for the first time: 

• Sign up during first 3 months before you turn 65 
• Medicare starts the first day of the month you turn 65 
• Can sign up during the 4th – 7th months, but your start date will be delayed 
• If the initial enrollment period has passed, you may incur higher premiums

You can call your local Social Security office or the national 800 number at 1-800-772-1213.  You can also visit their website at ssa.gov.

You can learn more at Medicare.gov, the official U.S. Government site for Medicare.
