- When should I enroll in Medicare?
- How will Medicare be affected by my health savings account (HSA)?
- Who will help me with my health coverage decision before Medicare?

Retirement isn’t a requirement to enroll in Medicare. If you’re working past 65, you have many factors to consider as you decide on your health care coverage, including:
- Do you need to take Medicare even though you’re still working?
- Should you delay Medicare Part B?
- How does Medicare work with your health savings account (HSA)?
- How does Medicare work with your employer’s health insurance?
- Can you be penalized for not taking Medicare at age 65?
Our advisors are here to help you answer these questions and more. We can even compare your employer coverage to Medicare to see which makes the most sense for you.
