Best Time to Buy Medicare Advantage?

If you know that Medicare Advantage is right for you, the best time to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan is when you first turn 65 and are eligible for Part B. You have a 7 month period that begins 3 months before your 65th birthday month, continues during the month of your 65th birthday, and ends three months after. If you sign up during the three months before your birthday, your Medicare Advantage plan will begin on the first day of your 65th birthday month (unless your birthday falls on the 1st; in that case it will begin the month prior).

If you don’t enroll during your initial enrollment period there are 3 other official Medicare Advantage enrollment periods that you may qualify for.
