Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Boomer Benefits staff and previous consumers.
HI Jacque, it depends on the size of your employer. If your employer has more than 20 employees, most people just enroll in Part A and delay Parts B and D since those parts have monthly premiums. If you work for a small employer though, you need to enroll in both A and B during your initial enrollment period.

Hi Rick, you have the same 7-month initial enrollment period for A and B as you do for Part D. So you can enroll in Part D as late as 3 months after your 65th birthday month. As long as you apply for Part D before that window ends, you won't face any late penalties. Your Medicare supplement open enrollment window lasts for 6 months after your Part B effective date, so if you apply during those 6 months, you won't have to answer any health questions. If you apply more than 6 months past your Part B effective date, you will answer medical questions and go through underwriting.
