Delaying Medicare enrollment. What to know
SHARE

As you approach the age of 65, the decision of when to enroll in Medicare can be a complex one, especially if you are covered by your spouse’s employer-provided health insurance. In a recent column, a reader sought advice on whether to enroll in Medicare or delay enrollment like their husband had done. The answer provided highlighted the potential penalties for delaying enrollment and the importance of confirming coverage with the employer’s benefits department.

Delaying Medicare enrollment can have long-term consequences, as it can result in penalties that increase your premiums for life. However, if you are covered by an employer with 20 or more employees, you may be able to keep the employer-provided health insurance and delay applying for Medicare without penalties. It is crucial to confirm with the employer’s benefits department that you are appropriately covered and can delay your application to avoid any penalties.

One key benefit of delaying Medicare enrollment is the ability to continue making contributions to a health savings account (HSA) if your spouse is still working. HSA contributions can be maximized before enrolling in Medicare, as contributions are no longer allowed once you are enrolled. This can be a significant advantage, especially considering the contribution limits for 2025 and the catch-up contributions available for account holders aged 55 and older.

It is essential to stay informed about the rules and regulations surrounding Medicare enrollment and the implications of delaying enrollment. Seeking guidance from professionals, such as Medicare experts or financial planners, can help navigate the complexities of healthcare coverage as you approach retirement age.

In conclusion, the decision of when to enroll in Medicare should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances and coverage options. By staying informed and seeking advice from knowledgeable sources, you can make the best choice for your healthcare needs as you transition into retirement.
