Getting started with Medicare*

Whether you’re new to Medicare, getting ready to turn 65, or preparing to retire, you’ll need to make several important decisions about your health coverage. If you wait to enroll, you may have to pay a penalty, and you may have a gap in coverage. It's important to gather information so you can make informed decisions about your Medicare. You can visit your local Social Security office or you can go online to:
www.SocialSecurity.gov or www.Medicare.gov .

Here are some helpful links from those websites or you can go to www.Medicare.gov  (recommended for the best learning experience).
