DESCRIPTION

One of the most daunting challenges facing older Americans approaching retirement is navigating the complex and highly consequential issues that arise as they prepare to transition from a Group Health Plan into Medicare. Given their age, health-related concerns are a high-priority issue for many of these employees. However, the practical information they need to make well-informed decisions is often surprisingly difficult to find with all the confusing (and sometimes inaccurate) messaging surrounding Medicare.

This fast-paced, engaging, and easy-to-understand presentation is specifically designed for HR and Benefits professionals who want to better understand this unique healthcare landscape and the high-priority decisions facing their older employees. These topics will be covered:

America’s National Health Plan – Medicare’s origins and interesting history, which became America’s first national health plan.
Choosing Original or Advantage – Important factors to consider when deciding if Original or Advantage is the best option.
Navigating the Enrollment Maze – The confusing enrollment environment that awaits Age 65+ employees- and covered spouses.
Your Medicare HR Gameplan – Strategies to prepare employees for a successful transition from the Group Plan into Medicare.

Using practical, real-life illustrations that are ‘HR relevant’, this retirement and benefits related content will be of interest to HR and Benefits professionals of all experience levels, as well as those who simply want to learn more for themselves about Medicare… the foundational American retirement healthcare program.

OUTCOMES

This program will provide HR professionals with a better understanding regarding:

Medicare basics in the areas of coverage, cost, and enrollment.
Specific key issues that age 65+ employees must consider as they transition
from a Group Health Plan to Medicare.
Insights to help employees age 65+ navigate important eligibility & enrollment rules when transitioning from a Group Health Plan to Medicare, thus becoming a more effective ‘frontline’ resource.
