Why Employers Should Offer Medicare Planning Support for Employees
If your workforce includes employees approaching retirement age, you’ve probably heard the questions:
- “Do I need to enroll in Medicare at 65 if I’m still working?”
- “Will Medicare work with my company insurance?”
- “What’s the difference between a Medicare Advantage plan and a Supplement?”
And if you're in HR or management, you might not always feel confident answering those questions. That’s where Medicare planning services for employers can make a real difference.
What Is Employer Medicare Planning?
Employer-sponsored Medicare planning is an educational support service designed to help employees understand their healthcare options as they near age 65. This includes Medicare Part A & B enrollment, choosing between Supplement and Advantage plans, and navigating coverage gaps.
You don’t need to become a Medicare expert—our team does the heavy lifting for you.
Why It Matters
Employees who don’t understand Medicare could:
- Miss critical enrollment deadlines and face penalties
- Overpay for duplicate coverage
- Struggle to compare options confidently
Delay retirement due to insurance uncertainty
These outcomes don’t just impact the employee—they affect your organization’s retirement planning, insurance coordination, and even productivity. Offering Medicare support helps your employees feel cared for, empowered, and ready for what’s next.
What Employers Can Expect
We offer:
- Medicare 101 group sessions—either on-site or virtual
- One-on-one consultations tailored to each employee’s needs

All at no cost to the employer or the employee.
A Win-Win Benefit
Providing Medicare support shows that your organization values long-term care for its team—even beyond employment. It reduces confusion, prevents costly mistakes, and helps you support a smooth transition into retirement healthcare.
