One of the best things about turning 65 is eligibility for Medicare.

If you contributed to Medicare through U.S. payroll taxes for at least 10 years (40 quarters) before turning 65 and you have no special circumstances, you’re eligible.

The initial Enrollment Period is a 7-month window beginning 3 months before you turn 65. If you sign up within 6 months of your 65th birthday, coverage starts either on the first day of your birthday month, or if your birthday falls on the 1st day of the month, coverage starts the month before you turn 65.

If you are already receiving Social Security benefits, you were automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B effective in the month you turned 65.
