Is there a deadline to enroll for Part D coverage?

Yes. For coverage in 2006, the initial enrollment period is from November 15, 2005 - May 15, 2006.

If you are not yet eligible for Medicare, when you become eligible, you will also be able to enroll for Part D coverage at that time.

For Part D coverage after 2006, the annual enrollment period is from November 15 - December 31.
