mr. ziegler is turning 65 next month and has asked you what he can do, and when he must do it, with respect to enrolling in part d. what could you tell him?

Mr. Ziegler is turning 65 next month and is currently in his Medicare Part D Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). This period lasts for seven months: it begins three months before his 65th birthday, includes the month he turns 65, and continues for three months after his birthday. During this time, he can make one Part D enrollment choice, which includes enrolling in a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part D coverage (MA-PD plan). He must take action during this IEP to avoid potential late enrollment penalties or gaps in coverage
