Medicare Part C and You
One benefit of Medicare Part C is that the out-of-pocket costs are capped, and once you reach the cap, you will owe nothing more for that year.
How to Enroll in Medicare Part C
You have the option to enroll in Medicare Part C during the initial enrollment period, which is seven months spanning the three months before you turn 65 to the three months following your 65th birthday. You have the option to upgrade to a Medicare Part C plan to replace Original Medicare during the Medicare Enrollment period, which runs from October 15th to December 7th. You can change your existing Medicare Part C at the Medicare Advantage enrollment period from January 1st to March 31st.
