Health Insurance for Early Retirees
How do you get insurance when you are retired?
Sweet freedom! You’re no longer tied to a schedule. You’ve retired early, and the years ahead are yours to enjoy. But there’s the question of health insurance. If you’ve been getting your health insurance through your job and you’re not yet 65 years old, you may be asking, “what now?” Shopping for a
What should I look for?
- Options. You want a choice of plans at prices that work for you.
- Quality care. You need access to personalized treatment from doctors and hospitals, no matter where you are.
- Discounted rates. You'll want a range of in-network doctors and hospitals to choose from, so you can take advantage of discounted rates.
- Annual check-ups and preventive care, at no additional cost to you.* Preventive care, such as your annual exam and screenings, help you stay healthy. These should be covered under your plan benefits.
- Easy-to-use tools. Online tools can help you pick plans and find doctors, and predict your costs.
- 24/7 service. When you have questions, you'll want access to claim and health care experts who can answer them.
How can I save money?
You may enjoy your retirement close to your own backyard. Or, maybe you spend your days far from home. The right health insurance plan can help you save money on out-of-pocket costs. When you visit in-network providers, you get access to the lower rates that they've negotiated with your health plan. When you see an out-of-network provider, your costs are typically higher. That's why it's important to choose a plan with in-network health care providers and hospitals in your area.
How can I save time?
You're probably more interested in keeping up with your grand-kids, or improving your golf game, than thinking about health insurance. Save your time for the things that matter. It helps to choose a plan with a customized, easy-to-use online website and mobile app, so you can manage your health wherever you are. Get health information, find in-network providers, pay your health insurance premiums, view your health care claims, and print temporary ID cards.
And when you have a health concern on your mind, you want answers. It helps to have a health information line to call. Talk to a clinician 24/7 to get information and help finding answers to your health-related questions.
