Enroll in Medicare in Hempstead

Most people first become eligible during their Initial Enrollment Period, which begins three months before your 65th birthday, includes your birth month, and ends three months after. If you’re already receiving Social Security benefits, enrollment may happen automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to enroll manually. MediHealth Options will help you confirm your timing and take the correct steps.

If you or your spouse have employer-sponsored insurance from a large company, you may be able to delay enrolling in Part B without penalty. However, this depends on whether your coverage is considered “creditable.” We’ll help you review your current plan, compare it to Medicare options, and decide whether to enroll now or delay.

If you missed your first chance to enroll and don’t qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you’ll need to wait for the General Enrollment Period (January 1 to March 31). Your coverage will then start on July 1, and late enrollment penalties may apply. MediHealth Options can help you determine if you’re eligible for any exceptions and guide you through re-entry into the system.

Yes. Every year during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15–Dec 7), you can review and switch your Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plan. We provide annual plan reviews to help you adjust your coverage as your needs change—so you’re never stuck with a plan that no longer fits.

Enrolling in Medicare typically means signing up for Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). But that’s just the foundation. You’ll also need to decide whether to add a Medicare Supplement, choose a Medicare Advantage plan, and enroll in a Part D prescription plan. We help you go beyond basic enrollment to choose the right combination of coverage for your life.
