You can enroll in Medicare Part D coverage once you meet both of the above requirements. Your Initial Enrollment Period for Part D is when you're first eligible to sign up for prescription drug benefits, and this period usually coincides with when you're first eligible for Medicare coverage.
The general enrollment period is between January 1 and March 31 each year. If you sign up for Part B during the general enrollment period, your coverage will begin on July 1. The special enrollment period is for those who waited to sign up for Part B because they were covered under an employerâs group health plan.
