Enrollment Periods – Part D Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), Example

Mr. Young’s 65th birthday is November 12, 2021. He is currently working. He signed up for Medicare Part A benefits, effective November 1, 2021. However, he declined Part B, because he has employer- based insurance. He is eligible for Part D since he has Part A and lives in the service area. Even though he did not enroll in Part B, his Part B IEP is still from August 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022. Hence, his IEP for Part D is also from August 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022.
