Medicare general enrollment period will begin next month on January 1, 2021 and last through March 31, 2021. If you enroll during this time, your coverage will start on July 1, 2021.
Here is a great article from the NY Times that answers top 6 questions such as understanding and budgeting costs, dental coverage, claim difficulties, avoiding fraud, and gap coverage for long-term care:
- What kind of monthly premiums for either original Medicare or Advantage can I realistically plan on budgeting, especially considering inflation?
- How can I get insurance for dental care?
- Someone called me claiming to be from Medicare and I gave out my Medicare number. Should I be concerned?
- Why does Medicare set my 2019 premium cost using my 2017 income?
- In your recent discussion of limitations of Medicare Advantage plans, you did not include information about improper claims denials and the difficulty people have pursuing appeals. That certainly should be part of your coverage.
- Can my Plan G Medigap supplemental insurance provider cancel me for 2020?
