Barron residents turning 65 should enroll during their 7-month Initial Enrollment Period, which starts 3 months before their 65th birthday month. Missing this window means waiting until the General Enrollment Period (January 1–March 31) and potentially facing a permanent late enrollment penalty on your Part B premium. If you have employer coverage, different rules apply — contact a licensed agent to confirm your exact timeline.
