When it comes to everything related to Medicare time is not on your side. The clock starts with your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). During this window, until the day you sign up for your coverage, there is a lot to learn about everything related to Medicare. If you miss your IEP you could be subjected to lifelong fines that will be built into your premiums. Your plan choice, for the most part, is a year-long decision so making the best decision for your healthcare is important and is not one that should be made in a rush. 

There is plenty to learn and understand about the Medicare program before selecting a plan for your healthcare. Time is not on your side and starting the process sooner than later will serve you well in the long term.  Questions you will want to ask include:  When is my IEP and what do I have to do to make sure I am signed up correctly?  When can I change plans or switch coverage? And much more.
