You won't automatically get Medicare when you turn 65 unless you're already receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits. Otherwise, you need to sign up during your Initial Enrollment Period. Missing this window can lead to late enrollment penalties. It's crucial to be aware of your enrollment dates. Call us for guidance on when and how to enroll.
