- When Is the Open Enrollment period for Medicare? What changes can I make to my Medicare coverage during this time?by kffnancyo on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 pm
The Medicare Open Enrollment period runs from October 15 through December 7 each year. During this period, you can make many changes to your Medicare coverage, depending on the coverage you already have. You can change from traditional Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan (or vice versa).
- How can I compare my Medicare coverage options?by kffnancyo on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 pm
You can compare your Medicare coverage options using an online searchable tool on the Medicare.gov website that allows users to compare Medicare coverage options, including Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Part D plans, and Medigap supplemental policies.
- My husband and I are retired. He just turned 65 and is now covered by Medicare, but I am 62 and I don’t have health insurance. As the spouse of a Medicare beneficiary, can I enroll in Medicare during the Medicare Open Enrollment period?by kffnancyo on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 pm
No. Although your husband now qualifies for Medicare, you will not qualify for Medicare until you turn age 65. If you do not have health insurance now, you can consider signing up for health insurance coverage through a Marketplace plan.
- I am 66 years old, work for a large employer, and have health insurance coverage through my job. I am planning to keep working for a few more years and keep the coverage that my employer offers. What are my coverage options when I stop working?by kffnancyo on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 pm
When you stop working and/or your group health insurance coverage ends, you should enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B. If you’re eligible for premium-free Part A, you can sign up any time after you’re first eligible for Medicare.
- If my employer offers retiree health benefits, do I need to sign up for Medicare when I turn 65?by kffnancyo on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 pm
For most people with retiree health benefits, it makes sense to sign up for Medicare when you are first eligible to do so. Retiree health plans are typically designed to supplement Medicare and might not pay your medical costs during any period that you were eligible for Medicare but not signed up for it.
