You still have a Medicare enrollment decision to make.
Even if you have coverage through your employer or your spouse’s employer, you'll still need to consider Medicare. Depending on your situation, you may or may not be able to delay Medicare enrollment. Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) happens when you’re turning 65 whether you’re still going to work or not. Be sure to know your IEP dates and plan ahead.
Learn how Medicare works with your employer coverage.
Depending on you employer coverage or your spouse's employer coverage:
You may be required to enroll in Original Medicare (both Part A and Part B) by your/your spouse's employer, or
You may be able to enroll in only Original Medicare Part A during your IEP, then enroll in Original Medicare Part B and/or Part D later during a Special Enrollment Period
Reach out to your employer's benefits administrator to learn more about your personal options.
What are my coverage choices after I have Medicare?
Once you’re enrolled in Original Medicare Part A and/or Part B, you’ll start to receive coverage from the federal government. At that point, you can also choose additional coverage from private insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare. Take a look at the next page, Coverage Choices, to learn more.
