We got the Medicare for Dummies book and explored the Medicare web site.
We tried to sign her up, but even that is terribly complicated.
Instructions say the IEP lasts for 7 months, from 3 months before turning 65 until 3 month after. And the GEP is from January 1 to March 31.
I see there is a "Special Enrollment Period" which extends the enrollment to 8 months past turning 65 if one is covered by a creditable group policy, but I don't see a way to enroll under the SEP. But, the application option states that it is only for "misrepresentation" by group health plan or employer.
So how do we sign up now?
