When it comes to Medicare, we all have questions. Who’s eligible? What does it cover? When can I enroll?

That’s why we’re dedicated to clearing the fog and providing you with straightforward, easy-to-understand answers.
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program designed primarily for people aged 65 and older. It also serves individuals under 65 with certain disabilities and people of any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It’s a program that helps with many health care costs but doesn’t cover all medical expenses or the cost of most long-term care.
Who’s Eligible for Medicare?
Eligibility for Medicare typically begins at age 65. However, if you are under 65, you might qualify due to disability or other special conditions. The key to understanding Medicare eligibility lies in knowing the specifics of your situation and how they align with Medicare’s guidelines.
When Can I Enroll in Medicare?
The Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) for Medicare starts three months before you turn 65 and ends three months after the month you turn 65, giving you a seven-month window to sign up. If you miss this period, don’t worry. There are General Enrollment and Special Enrollment Periods available, too.
