Optum and Medicare

Here is a timeline showing what you may want to do before you sign up for Medicare. 

This timeline has a horizontal line pointing to the right. Under the line are three boxes, side by side.

The first box on the left says, "9 months before you turn 65: You'll be eligible for Medicare soon. it's wise to start learning about Medicare."

The second box says, "6 months before you turn 65: Take time to attend Medicare 101 meetings. It's time to explore your Medicare options."

The third and final box says, "3 months before you turn 65: it's time to enroll and select a Medicare plan, medical network and doctor."
