Medicare-related plans are regulated by each state and approved for sale within geographic service areas.
In most cases, these areas are organized on a county-by-county basis; in some large urban markets, they're organized on a city or even neighborhood basis.

What should be done if I want to make a transition from Health Marketplace to Medicare
Are you confused because you bought your health insurance through the Health Marketplace? You’ll be happy to know it won’t affect you at all when you’re ready to sign up for Medicare.
In the same manner, the Health Marketplace has zero impact on your current Medicare coverage, if it alread exists. As long as you have at least Medicare Part B (hospital coverage), you do not need a Marketplace plan as you meet the coverage requirements. In fact, it’s illegal for someone to sell you a Marketplace plan if he knows that you have Medicare already. This is true even if you have only Part A or only Part B.
If you’re getting ready to sign up for Medicare, here are five steps to assist you in getting the enrollment process started.
1. Realize when it’s time to sign up for Medicare. This is known as your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) where in the exact dates of the IEP depend on on the date you began receiving disability benefits or your date of birth. Your Medicare IEP is your first chance to sign up for Medicare, and it lasts a total of 7 months. It includes:
- Your 65th birthday month, or the month you get your 25th disability check
- The 3 months before the month you turn 65, or before the month you get your 25th disability check
- The 3 months after after the month you get your 25th disability check or your 65th birthday month
Even though you don’t need to sign up for Medicare during you IEP, but you do need to make some decisions.
2. Medicare enrollment may or may not be automatic. So know how to enroll.
3. Your lifestyle, medical history and plans for the future are all things to think about before making a decision about Medicare. Also, understand your healthcare needs.
4. You must know how to compare your Medicare choices. You’ll want to explore and compare all of the choices available to you, including private Medicare plans and Original Medicare.
5. Be clear about how to choose a Medicare plan.
6. Don’t cancel your existing health insurance until you are sure of your exact Medicare coverage start date. Avoid a health coverage gap.
