SSA.gov - Medicare: New Start Dates for Medicare Part B Coverage Coming in 2023

• Starting January 1, 2023, your Medicare Part B coverage starts the first day of the month after you sign up, if you sign up during the last three months of your IEP (Initial Enrollment Period)
• If you don’t sign up for Medicare Part B during your IEP, you have another chance each year during the General Enrollment Period (GEP). The GEP lasts from January 1 through March 31. Starting January 1, 2023, your coverage starts the first day of the month after you sign up.

(1 comment) @GailL1what does IEP mean? I turn 65 NEXT September. Will be signing up NEXT June at my LOA office (local office of aging). Thanks, Nicole 🙂
