Ask Terry Questions Health insurance & Medicare

Health insurance & Medicare

By Terry Savage on April 10, 2017 | Insurance & Annuities

If I have health insurance with my employer as part of my retirement package, why must I sign up for Medicare part B?

Terry Says

As long as  your employer is a large company -- 50 or more employees -- you don't have to sign up until you retire.  But for smaller companies, with fewer employees, Medicare becomes the primary payer, and your company plan becomes secondary.  So it depends on the size of your company plan.
