You're a bit early to enroll
but it's good to prepare.
You'll begin coverage the month you turn 65.
You'll be eligible for Medicare in {{enroll_status.days_left>=100?''+(enroll_status.days_left/30|0)+' months':''+enroll_status.days_left+' days'}}. When you enroll, you'll begin coverage on your birthday.
You may continue to look at hypothetical plan options, but you won't be able to enroll yet.
If you enroll in Medicare’s medical coverage (Part B) today, your Part B benefits will begin on the first day of {{policy_start|ui-date('January')}}.
If you do not enroll in Medicare Part B in the next {{enroll_status.days_left}} {{enroll_status.days_left>1?'days':'day'}}, you will need to wait another month for your Part B coverage to begin. Bear in mind that you will need to have your Medicare card with both hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) to sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan.

Until you sign up for Medicare Part B, let’s explore Medicare Advantage plans that fit your needs. Once you’ve received your Medicare card and you signed up for Medicare's medical coverage (Part B), you can come back to complete enrollment.
You may have missed the initial signup period for Medicare’s medical coverage (Part B).
If you have not signed up for Medicare Part B within 8 months of your retirement date or within two months of your employer/union coverage end date, you may need to wait until the General Enrollment Period between January 1 - March 31 to enroll in Medicare Part B. Your Part B benefits will begin on July 1, {{policy_year}}.
If you didn't get Part B when you're first eligible, your monthly premium may go up 10% for each 12-month period you could've had Part B, but didn't sign up. In most cases, you'll have to pay this penalty each time you pay your premiums, for as long as you have Part B. And, the penalty increases the longer you go without Part B coverage. Learn more.
You may continue to look at hypothetical plan options, but you won't be able to enroll yet. We'll use the currently available plans as an example of options that could have been available to you.
You have a special timeframe to sign up for Medicare’s medical coverage (Part B).
