Medicare enrollment periods can be very confusing and it can be hard to know when to enroll for coverage. In this episode, we break down when you can apply for Medicare using the Initial Enrollment Period, Special Enrollment Period, or even the General Enrollment Period.

We also talk about when you can or cannot enroll in Medicare Advantage, Part D, and Medicare Supplement coverage. This episode will help you enroll in the proper coverage at the proper time to avoid coverage gaps and lifetime penalties.
