Qualifications

Becoming eligible for Medicare is a milestone in your life. Let us help you understand when you qualify, when you can enroll and answer your important questions.

Qualifying for Medicare 

If you are turning 65, you can apply for coverage beginning three months before your 65th birthday, the month of your 65th birthday and three months after your 65th birthday. If you are disabled, you can contact us for more information.

You may also be eligible to apply if you meet criteria for a Special Enrollment Period for individuals who, for example, have recently moved to our service area or recently qualify for Medicare. If you have questions about the Special Enrollment Period, you can contact us for more information.
