When Do I Sign Up for Medicare?
Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) is the 7-month window around your 65th birthday — 3 months before, your birth month, and 3 months after. If you're working past 65 with employer coverage, different rules apply.
What Colorado beneficiaries should know
Plan availability and coverage details vary by county in Colorado. Urban areas like Denver and Colorado Springs typically have more plan options than rural counties. A licensed Medicare agent can look up plans specific to your ZIP code and help you understand what's covered.
