When Should You Start Reviewing Medicare?
Many people begin learning about Medicare several months before their 65th birthday. This gives time to understand when to enroll, whether you need Part B, how employer coverage may affect your decision, and what plan options may be available in your area.
Your Medicare timing can depend on whether you are already receiving Social Security, whether you are still working, whether you have employer group health coverage, and whether your spouse is covered through your employment. Because mistakes can lead to penalties or gaps in coverage, it is important to review your situation before making assumptions.

Still Working at 65?
Some people need to enroll in Medicare at 65, while others may be able to delay certain parts of Medicare if they have qualifying employer group health coverage. This depends on your situation, employer size, coverage type, and whether the coverage is considered creditable for Medicare purposes.
If you are still working, covered by a spouse, self-employed, on COBRA, enrolled in retiree coverage, or using marketplace coverage, review your Medicare timing carefully before delaying Part B or Part D.

What to Bring to a Medicare Review
To make a Medicare review more useful, gather your Medicare card if you already have one, your list of doctors, prescription names and dosages, preferred pharmacies, employer or retiree coverage information, VA or TRICARE details if applicable, and any letters from Social Security, Medicare, or your current insurance company.
