For employers, workers age 65 and over add a needed dimension of experience and knowledge to the workforce. And, as of February 2019, 20% of these 55 million people were working or looking for work. Individuals working beyond age 65 is a growing trend. (Business Insider)
Medicare Eligible Employees Have Options
Employees turning 65 are inundated with Medicare plan information online, by mail, by phone and through well-meaning but often misinformed family and friends. Employer healthcare insurance is complicated, and Medicare is no exception. The more informed each employee is regarding Medicare, the greater the opportunity for them to consider coverage that may better match the personal needs. Medicare plans are available that require “zero” monthly premium, providing comprehensive coverage with additional benefits and services like dental, vision, hearing and meal and transportation services.
Many employees age 65 and over may have never considered choosing Medicare over the default option of an employer’s plan. If so, they could potentially be missing out on lower costs as well as the added benefits included in many Medicare Advantage plans. Helping them understand Medicare health insurance options can add to employee satisfaction and also reduce both their personal as well as company healthcare costs.
