Medicare 101

Downloadable Medicare 101 Video Now Available

If you missed our recent webinars covering the complexities of Medicare rules and enrollment – including the many significant changes to Medicare this year – we invite you to download our Medicare 101 video. Medicare represents an opportunity for both employers and eligible employees, but the benefit is highly misunderstood.

Topics for individuals and employers include:

• Basics of Medicare, including premium costs and copayments
• Demystifying eligibility rules explaining who is eligible and when and how to enroll
• Explaining the rules for active employees reaching retirement age, as well as retirees
• Understanding significant penalties that may apply
• Medicare HMOs, Medicare Supplement plans, and prescription drug coverage

A better understanding of this benefit will help dually eligible employees make the best choice, for themselves and their families, between their employer plan and Medicare. Knowing the rules will also reduce the stress of transitioning from their employer plan to Medicare.
