Employers Health has partnered with Extend Health to offer Medicare navigation services to member employers and their Medicare-eligible retirees. Extend Health operates the nation’s largest private Medicare exchange, and has helped hundreds of thousands of retirees choose the Medicare plan that best meets their medical needs and budget.
Extend Health makes it possible for employers to continue to offer health care benefits to retirees in a financially sustainable way. With our Extend Retiree® program, corporations, unions and public sector organizations have saved between 20% and 40% on retiree health care costs. The Extend Retiree Medicare navigation service includes:
A Dedicated Team: We provide a dedicated management and implementation team and a complete set of services to ensure a successful transition from group plans to individual Medicare plans.
Opportunity Analysis: Before retirees begin the transition, Extend Health conducts a thorough opportunity analysis, evaluating the carriers and plans available to your retirees by location.
Communication and Education: Extend Health offers a complete set of retiree communications that can be turn-key or customized to your specific needs. Extend Health can also assist with educating your retirees about the transition.
The Extend Health Insurance Exchange: Retirees have access to a state-of-the-art Medicare plan "marketplace" featuring over 3,500 plans from more than 65 of the nation’s leading health insurers. The Extend Health insurance exchange has the industry’s most powerful decision support tools to help retirees find and evaluate available plans.
Licensed Benefit Advisors: Each of our benefit advisors holds multiple state insurance licenses and carrier appointments. Benefit advisors are trained to focus on customer service and receive specific education on the needs of retirees.
HRAs: If you plan to establish Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) for your retirees, Extend Health can help with set-up and ongoing administration of these accounts.
