What is the Medicare General Enrollment Period?
It is the annual window for people who did not enroll when first eligible. It runs from January through March, with coverage generally starting the month after you enroll.
What to do next
Start from your own specifics rather than a rule of thumb; a short conversation usually tells you whether this needs a professional look.
Local context for Statewide Florida
Using the General Enrollment Period usually means paying a late-enrollment cost impact on the Part B premium, and that cost impact generally lasts as long as you keep Part B. Because the delay can affect both the start date and the cost, it is worth checking whether a Special Enrollment Period applies to your situation instead — for example if you recently lost employer coverage or moved. A licensed agent can usually tell you quickly which window applies.
