Medicare with Employer Coverage

If your are going to continue working after age 65, you’ll need to understand how Medicare works with your employer group insurance. Sometimes you are required to sign up for Medicare Part A and Part B. Other times you are not. Read on to learn more!

Large Group Coverage

If your employer has 20+ employees, their employer group insurance coverage will be primary. In this situation, it often does not make sense to get sign up for Medicare.

Small Group Coverage

If your employer has under 20 employees, their employer group insurance will be secondary to Medicare. In this situation you will have to sign up for Medicare Part A and Part B.
