In this entertaining session (yes, really!), attendees will discover simple tricks and tools to easily navigate the complexities of Medicare, including easy-to-use talking points to drive a basic understanding of Medicare and help employees steer clear of costly Medicare mistakes.
Repeated from Monday at 3:30pm.
Beware! HR professionals, like most people in general, are often unaware of the dangers of Medicare-related mistakes- until one bites them. Unfortunately, just one Medicare mistake can be incredibly costly - or even deadly. In this session, you'll learn the most common Medicare-related mistakes made by HR professionals and how to steer clear of them, with a special emphasis on COBRA, Medicare secondary payer rules and Guaranteed Issue Right.
Learning Objectives:
- Why Medicare is the primary payer for employees on COBRA after the age of 65.
- What Guaranteed Issue Right is and why it's important for those on COBRA.
- Simple, yet powerful, talking points about Medicare to use with employees.
- Specific strategies to bridge potential gaps in coverage during work transitions.
- How to integrate Medicare into the broader narrative of employee benefits and healthcare planning.
