Once you hit a certain age, the idea of retirement is never really far from mind. Last month we talked about short-term medical coverage as one possible option to help bridge the health coverage gap between leaving your current employment and becoming eligible for Medicare during retirement. But securing interim coverage, if needed, is just a small part of preparing for Medicare. Six months before turning 65 is a good time to begin learning what to expect from Medicare, including deadlines for enrollment and the types of plan options that may be available, as well as how Medicare compares to employer-sponsored coverage. Many people don’t realize they may continue to work for their current employer if they’ve reached age 65 and still be on Medicare. In some situations, individuals may find that Medicare offers different coverage features than an employer‑sponsored plan, which can be worth understanding when evaluating healthcare options. Some people who switch to Medicare while still working may find their coverage needs are met differently than under an employer-sponsored plan. For example, certain Medicare plans may include additional benefits or features beyond what some employer plans offer. I’m available as a resource to share general Medicare information and help explain Medicare basics. I offer a Medicare 101 educational class for people who are newly 65 or about to turn 65, presented in an easy-to-understand format.
