Taking the Mystery out of Medicare for Your Employees
Open Enrollment comes around faithfully every year. Employees enroll in workplace benefits such as health, dental, vision and life insurance.
For the growing number of employees approaching or working beyond age 65, there is another Open Enrollment that takes place October 15 through December 7 – the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period or AEP.
Before and during the AEP, your Medicare-eligible employees become the target of mail, emails, phone calls and television advertisements, all of which are trying to sell them a Medicare plan.
Rather than helping your employees understand their Medicare rights, these ads and solicitations confuse them and complicate an already challenging subject.
Instead, your employees want answers to questions such as:
- Are they required to enroll in Medicare at age 65?
- Will they pay a penalty for delaying enrollment in Medicare?
- Would it be better to keep their health insurance at work or enroll in Medicare?
- What is the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans?
- Who do they call for personal assistance?
UROne Benefits™ can help make sense of it all.
UROne Benefits™ will schedule a 40-minute informational webinar to help answer these and other Medicare questions. This online seminar is open to your employees (regardless of age or Medicare eligibility), parents, parents-in-law and family members.
For more information about what you and your employees need to know about Medicare, talk with your UROne Benefits™ representative today by contacting us here or at 800-722-7331.
