Most people sign up when they're turning 65 - this is your initial open enrollment period. It starts the 3 months before the month you turn 65 through the 3rd month after you turn 65. If you're outside of this window, you will have to wait to sign up until the general enrollment period opens up for Part B (January 1-March 31 of each year), unless you qualify for a special enrollment period.
Other situations where you can be eligible for Medicare are if you're under 65 and on social security disability (need to be on it for at least 24 months), or have end-stage renal disease.
