Medicare Enrollment Reform: Protecting Retirees with Small Employer Plans
This act aims to improve Medicare enrollment for retiring individuals. It ensures that small employer health plans (under 20 employees) cannot reduce benefits if an employee is eligible but not yet enrolled in Medicare Part B, protecting their coverage.
Key points
Health benefit protection: Small employer health plans cannot reduce benefits if an employee is eligible for Medicare but not yet enrolled.
Increased flexibility for retirees: Individuals transitioning to retirement have more time to decide on Medicare enrollment without risking current plan coverage.
Applies to employers with fewer than 20 individuals: The changes primarily affect employees of companies with fewer than 20 staff members.
