As Dr. Mehmet Oz turns 65 on June 11, he is using his personal experience with Medicare enrollment to assist others in understanding the process. In a new video and social media series, Dr. Oz provides guidance for future enrollees, starting with Medicare.gov.
"Millions of Americans become eligible for Medicare each year, and this year, I’m one of them," said Oz. "The good news is, Medicare.gov makes it easy to get started, whether you’re signing up for the first time or exploring options. Everyone’s situation is different, but the most important thing you can do is get informed early and make the choices that are right for you and your family."
Dr. Oz's public service messages emphasize key reminders for those nearing Medicare eligibility: begin early to understand available options. Enrollment paths may differ based on whether an individual is already receiving Social Security benefits or still working with employer coverage. Medicare.gov offers clear, personalized guidance on enrollment and coverage.
To view Dr. Oz's messages, individuals can follow him on X, Instagram, and Facebook as they are released. Those soon joining Medicare can visit Medicare.gov to explore options, learn what actions to take based on their unique circumstances, and sign up for coverage. Additional assistance is available 24/7 by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
