Initial Enrolment Period · seven months around your 65th
For military retirees this is the handover to TRICARE For Life, and it depends on Part B being in place. It is the appointment we most want to have early rather than late in this town.

Medicare and health cover in Beaufort, SC
Beaufort is the county seat and the second-oldest city in South Carolina, spread across Port Royal Island with its antebellum front street looking over the water. Parris Island and the air station sit close by, so a large share of the county's older households are connected to the services.

We name local hospitals because plan networks are measured against them. Cedar Landing Benefits has no relationship with any hospital, health system or medical practice, and none of them endorse or refer to us.
What is different in Beaufort
One county, two hospital orbits
Beaufort County's plan list is the same in Beaufort as it is on Hilton Head, because plan availability is set at county level. The networks behind those plans are not the same in both places. A plan anchored on the southern end can look thin up here, so we read the directory for Beaufort Memorial by name rather than trusting a county-wide summary.
Timing
The enrolment windows that matter in Beaufort
Everyone gets the same windows. Which of them is the useful one depends on where you live and what you already have.
Annual Enrolment Period · 15 October – 7 December
For everyone else, the annual look — and the time to confirm that Beaufort Memorial is still inside whichever network you are relying on.
