Can I sign up for Medicare Prescription Coverage at anytime?

You are eligible to enroll in a Part D plan during your Initial Enrollment period (IEP), when you first become eligible for Medicare.

If you missed your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), you will be given a chance to enroll during the Open Enrollment Period (OEP), which runs from January 1st to March 31st. It’s important to be mindful, that anytime you miss important deadlines and sign up late, this could result in late enrollment fees.

Depending on your situation, you could also be eligible to enroll during a Special enrollment Period if you have experienced a life changing event. Such life changing events would include losing coverage through an employer or if you already have Medicare Part D, but are moving to a new location.
