Working Past 65 Medicare FAQ

Do I have to enroll in Medicare if I am still working?

Not always. Some people can delay certain parts of Medicare while they or a spouse still have qualifying employer coverage. The timing depends on the type of coverage and your situation, so it is important to review the details before deciding when to enroll.

Should I keep employer coverage or move to Medicare?

That depends on factors like premiums, provider access, prescriptions, and how your employer coverage works with Medicare. We can help you understand Medicare plan options and compare options from the plans we represent, while you confirm employer-benefit details with your HR/benefits department.

Can I contribute to an HSA after enrolling in Medicare?

HSA contribution rules can change once you enroll in Medicare. We can help you understand Medicare timing and plan options, but you should confirm HSA questions with your HR/benefits department and consult a tax professional.

What is creditable coverage?

Creditable coverage generally means coverage that is expected to pay, on average, at least as much as standard Medicare coverage in the area it applies to, such as prescription drug coverage for Part D. This matters because delaying coverage without creditable coverage can lead to penalties later.

Can you help me compare Medicare options if I am leaving employer coverage?

Yes. We can review your timeline, explain Medicare plan options, and compare options from the plans we represent as you prepare to leave employer coverage.
