65: Aging into Medicare

You must be aware of Medicare deadlines and requirements

Now that your countdown to Medicare-eligibility is in terms of days or months (and not years), it is time to make a number of important decisions that will define the healthcare coverage you receive for the rest of your lifetime. While you are inevitably receiving numerous communications regarding Medicare, Amwins can help you set and meet goals based on your specific priorities.

When Your Coverage Begins

Your coverage start date depends on when you signed up for Medicare. If it was before the month in which you turned 65, coverage starts on the 1st of the month of your 65th birthday. If you signed up one month late, coverage is delayed by one month.

Premiums and Penalties

Medicare premiums and penalties are standard, but you must be aware of deadlines and requirements to avoid penalties. Amwins has compiled detailed Premium and Penalties information as part of our Medicare resources.
