[20-52] Checklist –Smooth Transition Checklist

A Medicare Transition Preparation Checklist ✔️

Help your employees prepare for a Medicare Discussion.

✔️ HAVE YOU ATTENDED A FREE MEDICARE WORKSHOP?

  • Learn the basics about Medicare by attending a free educational workshop like 123Easy Medicare.com 
  • Gain confidence about what Medicare is so you can make appropriate choices based on YOUR specific needs.
  • No gimmicks, no sales pitches. Just what Medicare is and all the options.

 

✔️ ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE SOON?

  • Compare your current employer group plan costs to Medicare by completing a Stay or Go Analysis via this link.
  • Does your employer have under or over 20 employees?
  • Is your employer’s plan creditable?
  • Does it make sense to transition while still working based on your needs?
  • Are you covering children or a spouse on your current employer plan?

 

✔️ RETIRING SOON?

  • Do you have a specific retirement date in mind?
  • Are you on a HDHP and contributing to an HSA?
  • Have you obtained an employer verification form to show when your group plan terminates?
  • Any chronic conditions or specialists you need for continuing care?
  • What kind of benefit coverage will you need when you lose your employer plan?

 

✔️ TRANSITION STRESS-FREE!

  •  Schedule a complimentary meeting with a Certified Medicare Planner® (CMP) to help you plan a smooth Medicare transition:
    • Create a list of your doctors, prescriptions, pharmacy locations, chronic condition needs.
    • Save yourself the stress of comparing over 5000 Medicare plan combinations…CMP’s have proprietary tools to do it for you.
    • Your CMP will review all the plans in your zip code and help you narrow them down to the plans with the benefits you desire.

 

If Medicare feels a bit confusing, we get it! 

That’s why we are here – to help make Medicare@Work easier! An employee can find greater confidence about when to enroll in Medicare by consulting with a Medicare expert like a Certified Medicare Planner®… or whether they should wait and keep their employer group plan.

Every situation is different.
