1.Fill out
an "Initial Enrollment Questionnaire" (IEQ) so your bills are paid
correctly and on time.
About 3
months before your Medicare coverage starts, you’ll get an Initial Enrollment
Questionnaire (IEQ) in the mail. It asks about other health insurance you have
that might pay before Medicare does, like group health plan coverage from your
or a family member’s employer, liability insurance, or workers' compensation.
You can also complete the IEQ online at MyMedicare.gov.
2.Fill out
an Authorization Form if you want your family or friends to be able to call
Medicare on your behalf.
Medicare
can't give personal health information about you to anyone unless you give
permission in writing first. Fill out and submit an e-Authorization Form now in
case you can’t do it later.
3.Make a
"Welcome to Medicare" Preventive Visit appointment during the first
12 months you have Medicare.
