Retiring early? Know your health care choices
Special to the Ledger
Life doesn’t always go
as planned. For example,
you might think you’ll
retire at 65 or later, when
you’ll be eligible for
Medicare. But if you re
tire before then,
how will you pay
for your health
care?
Without
insurance, you
risk incurring
thousands
of dollars of
expenses if you
are injured or
become seriously ill. And
if you must pay for these
costs out of pocket, you
might have to dip into
your IRA, 401(k) or other
retirement accounts ear
lier than you had planned
- which could result in a

less desirable retirement
lifestyle than you had
envisioned.
What, then, are your
options? It depends on
your situation, but here
are four possibilities:
Employer
retiree health
benefits - If
your former
employer offers
health cover
age to retirees,
it could well
be your best
choice, especial
ly if the em
ployer continues to pay
a share of the premiums.
However, fewer employ
ers are offering continu
ing health coverage to
former employees, and
among those who do,
they may use certain
criteria - such as length
of service and position
within the company - to
limit eligibility.
Spouse’s plan - If
you’re married and your
spouse still has employ
er-provided insurance,
you may be able to get
coverage under this plan
or continue this coverage
if you have it already. If
the employer subsidizes
premiums for spouses,
this plan could be an af
fordable choice - if not,
though, it might be more
expensive than other
options.
COBRA - The Consol
idated Omnibus Bud
get Reconciliation Act
(COBRA) allows you to
maintain your existing
coverage with the same
benefits and provider
network. However, CO
BRA is typically only
available for a specific
time - usually 18 months
- after you leave your
employer, and coverage
can be expensive. Your
previous employer sub
sidized a portion of the
premium as a benefit,
but once you’ve retired,
you’ll likely have to pay
the entire premium, plus
an additional charge.
ACA Marketplace
plan - Through the
Affordable Care Act
Marketplace, you can
find a variety of plans
from which to choose,
possibly including ones
that include your ex
isting network. If you
qualify for subsidies,
the premiums for your
coverage may be similar
to employer-sponsored
coverage; if not, though,
they can be more expen
sive. For information on
ACA Marketplace plans,
visit www.healthcare.
gov.
If you have options for
health insurance, you’ll
want to take into account
differences in coverage
and cost. Check whether
your desired health care
providers are in-network
and try to determine if
your current medications
and the benefits you rely
on are covered. You may
also want to consider a
plan that allows you to
open a health savings
account (HSA), which
offers potential tax ben
efits. To contribute to an
HSA, you must be cov
ered by a high deductible
health plan (HDHP),
so there’s that cost to
consider, but if you’re
in generally good health
and you don’t expect to
depend heavily on your
health insurance until
you’re eligible for Medi
care, you might want to
consider an HDHR
One final note: Even
when you do enroll in
Medicare, you will still
incur expenses for pre
miums, deductibles and
co-pays, so you’ll want
to budget for these costs
in your overall financial
strategy.
In the meantime, ex
plore your health insur
ance options. The future
is not ours to see - so
you’ll want to be pre
pared for anything.
