Turning 65 is a great milestone that can come with a lot of changes for you and your employees. Offering group health insurance to your employees is a huge asset in employee retention, it is also a costly one at times. Carriers look at many factors when determining premiums for any type of insurance, the average age of employees is a huge factor that can increase and lower costs. Employers often opt to encourage their employees to take Part B upon turning 65 even if that employee is not drawing social security quite yet. These employers often continue to pay a specific percentage or amount towards their employees’ insurance. Most Medicare beneficiaries find they are receiving less restrictive coverage and significantly lowering their costs.
