Enrolling in Medicare can be done on the internet in an easy and convenient way. Below I have provided a link to the documentation checklist for online enrollment. Once you have gathered all the required documents for your application, the process should be fairly simple and require merely 10-20 minutes to complete.
Access the online Medicare application on the Social Security Administration (SSA) website by clicking on the button below. Once you are on the webpage, scroll down until you see this button, which will take you to the application. This will apply you for original Medicare (Parts A and B); if you want a supplement plan, prescription drug plan, or Advantage plan, continue reading.
Applying for Medigap, prescription drug plans (PDP), and Advantage plans
Medigap/Supplement Plans:
The first step in purchasing a Medigap plan is finding the right one for you. You can explore options via this link, or you can contact me for additional help deciding on a plan!
Once you’ve chosen a plan, consult the Medicare site for instructions and tips on purchasing it.
PDP and Advantage Plans:
You can shop for both PDPs and Advantage plans on this webpage.
Already Enrolled?
If you have already enrolled in Medicare but would like to view or manage your benefits, this can be done through creating a SSA account in this link. An account will allow you to manage benefits, assess future benefits, check application status, and request a (replacement) Social Security card.
