This infographic accompanies Medicare Plan Assistance's guide for people turning 65 while still working and trying to determine how Medicare fits with employer-sponsored health coverage. The guide walks readers through the decisions that should generally come before comparing 2027 Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, or Part D plans, including: Identifying current employer coverage Determining whether coverage is based on active employment Checking employer size for Medicare coordination purposes Determining which coverage pays first Reviewing Part A enrollment Reviewing Part B timing Understanding HSA contribution implications Verifying creditable prescription drug coverage Identifying when employer coverage will end Comparing Medicare coverage when appropriate The article also highlights an especially important issue for people with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): Medicare enrollment affects HSA contribution eligibility, and premium-free Part A may be retroactive for certain people who enroll after 65. The central message is: Turning 65 while still working doesn't automatically mean you should enroll in everything—or delay everything. Verify your employer coverage first. 📞 For help understanding what questions to ask before making your Medicare decision, call Medicare Plan Assistance at (561) 808-9410.
