In addition to enrolling in Original Medicare, you may also choose to join a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), a Medicare Supplement Plan (Medi-Gap) with a separate prescription drug plan (Part D), or just Original Medicare with a prescription drug plan.
Although you are not required to enroll in Part D, there is a penalty of 1% of the average monthly premium for each month you delay enrollment. Income-based adjustments may also apply.
Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) is 7 months long. It includes your 65th birthday month plus the 3 months before and the 3 months after. It begins and ends 1 month earlier if your birthday is on the first of the month. You may enroll in Part A, Part B or both.
October 15 – December 7
During annual enrollment, you can add, drop or switch your Medicare coverage.
January 1 – March 31
If you’re already a Medicare Advantage plan member, you may disenroll from your current plan and either switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan one time only, or go back to Original Medicare during this period.
With Qualifying Circumstances
Depending on certain circumstances, you may be able to enroll in a Medicare plan outside of the initial enrollment or annual enrollment time frames. Some ways you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period are if you:
• Retire and lose your employer coverage
• Move out of the plan’s service area
• Qualify for Extra Help
• Have been diagnosed with certain qualifying
chronic health conditions
Special needs plans have other eligibility requirements.
Hospital & Inpatient Care
It all began in 1986 when Multiple Sclerosis Limited (MSL) identified the need for high-quality care services for people living with this chronic disease.
By 1999, MSL recognised the time had come to establish NanoCare as a separate legal entity. A savvy and experienced Board was appointed and we were firmly on the path to growth.
This growth was boosted by a series of acquisitions within the care sector between 2001 and 2008. By then, we had earned a reputation as an experienced and sizeable private care service provider.
In 2010, the purchase and integration of Nationwide Health & Aged Care Services represented a major milestone in our growth as specialist cleaning and laundry services bolstered our business portfolio.
At around the same time, NanoCare partnered with the US-based Healthcare at Home. In 2013, NanoCare acquired the business. This nurse-led service has provided a safe, high-quality alternative to hospital care for people with cancer and chronic disease.
Today, we are proud to continue our work as a wholly-owned, not-for-profit subsidiary of MSL
