Medicare After Employer Coverage in Utah
Leaving employer health coverage in Utah? Learn what to review when transitioning to Medicare and how to avoid gaps in coverage.
Start before the employer plan ends
Gather your employer coverage end date and Medicare eligibility information early. Enrollment timing matters, and starting before coverage ends can help prevent an unintended gap.
Understand Part B enrollment timing
People leaving qualifying active employer coverage may have a Special Enrollment Period for Part B. The exact rules depend on your circumstances, so verify your dates with Social Security or Medicare.
Decide how you want to receive Medicare benefits
After Original Medicare Parts A and B, many people compare a Medicare Advantage plan with Original Medicare plus a Medicare Supplement and separate Part D coverage.
Review prescriptions and doctors
Make a current list of medications, doctors, hospitals and pharmacies. These details can materially affect which Medicare option fits your needs.
