Your Medicare Minute – Ask Lu

- How do I Navigate Medicare if I am 65 and Still Working?

If you or your spouse is actively employed with employer sponsored healthcare and there are more than 20 employees, you do not need to enroll in Medicare at this time. If you are not covered by a Health Savings Account at work, you may enroll in Medicare A (hospital coverage) for no additional cost if you have worked at least 40 quarters (10 years) in your lifetime. You are eligible for the Prescripti­on Part D coverage with your enrollment in Part A. You can delay Medicare part B medical coverage (which has a premium) until you should decide to retire and stop working. Your employer will have to sign a late enrollment form for you, verifying that you were actively employed with employer sponsored healthcare since the time you were age 65. This will prevent you from receiving any “late enrollment penalty.” Don’t hesitate to contact me should you have additional questions or concerns!
