Trying to sign up for Medicare?
Follow these steps to learn about Medicare, how to sign up, and your coverage options.
Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older. You’re first eligible to sign up for Medicare 3 months before you turn 65. You may be eligible to get Medicare earlier if you have a disability, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Open Enrollment for 2023 runs November 1, 2022–January 15, 2023
Starting November 1, you can log into HealthCare.gov, fill out an application, and enroll in a 2023 Marketplace health plan. Enroll by December 15, 2022 for coverage that starts January 1, 2023.
Plans and prices for 2023 will be available to preview shortly before November 1.
You can get health coverage for the rest of 2022 if you qualify for:
-
- A Special Enrollment Period due to a recent life event, like losing other coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby.
- Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or a new Special Enrollment Period based on estimated household income.
