As you approach the age of 65, it’s crucial to understand how this federally funded health insurance program will impact your life. To help you navigate this exciting transition, we’ve compiled a comprehensive checklist of key considerations for future Medicare beneficiaries like you.

Determine Your Eligibility for Medicare:

Six months before the month you turn 65: If you plan to enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) with a Medicare Supplement, enrolling in your Medicare Supplement at this time allows you to lock in your premium for 18 months, shielding you from any rate increases.

Three months before you turn 65: If you’re not automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, it’s time to take action. You have four options to enroll:

- Visit your local Social Security office.
- Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to enroll over the phone.
- Enroll online at www.ssa.gov/medicare/.
- Let Delta Medicare Benefits Group assist you through a free enrollment consultation at 901-460-7220.
