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.
