Turning 65 in Jenks: what to do and when
- About 6 months before your 65th birthday: list your doctors, prescriptions, and pharmacies, and find out whether any employer coverage will continue.
- 3 months before your birthday month: your 7-month Initial Enrollment Period opens. Sign up for Medicare Parts A and B through Social Security at ssa.gov or 1-800-772-1213, unless you already receive Social Security benefits and are enrolled automatically.
- Choose your path: Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement and a Part D drug plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan.

Medicare options for Jenks residents
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Works with Original Medicare to help pay deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Your best time to buy is your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Part B.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Private plans approved by Medicare that cover Parts A and B, usually through a provider network. Most include drug coverage. I check that your doctors are in network before you decide.
Part D prescription drug plans
Stand-alone drug coverage for people with Original Medicare. I compare plans using your actual prescriptions and preferred pharmacy.
Compare Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement side by side.
