Starting in January 2023, Medicare Part B coverage will begin the first day of the following month if you sign up during the final three months of your IEP period. This new policy is designed to provide Medicare recipients with more flexibility and access to coverage right away. It also removes the wait time associated with traditional enrollment and allows beneficiaries to start taking advantage of their Part B benefits sooner. This change makes it even easier to get the most out of your Medicare coverage, and ensures that you can start receiving care and treatments that you need as soon as possible.
