“Human Resources Seminar: Medicare Overview and Enrollment Considerations”
Presented By: Tracy Russo
Join Tri-State and Tracy Russo for an overview of the important considerations that Human Resource Managers want to know about Medicare. Specifically, it is a good opportunity to see some of the risks with who should enroll in Medicare at age 65 and who can wait to enroll in Medicare until retirement. Most of our Human Resource Managers/Consultants find this presentation to be extremely valuable even if they do not want to personally advise their employees about Medicare. Being able to spot the red flags or potential Medicare mistakes employees can make is important when planning for retirement. We also discuss Medicare costs for retirement budgeting. Additional details below.
Important Timeframes:
- What your employees should be doing as a retiree or soon to be retiree
- Open Enrollment and Guaranteed Issue Periods, plus late penalties
- When to enroll or defer Medicare Part B if not retiring at age 65
- Changing carriers—how & when
Make sure your coverage is complete:
- What does Medicare cover and not cover
- Is secondary insurance necessary and what are the options
- How do a Medicare Supplement and Original Medicare coordinate
- Costs of Medicare and Retirement Healthcare Budgeting
