Employers and Medicare: Creating A Win-Win” is a unique, online Audio Visual educational seminar designed for Employers to help them understand Medicare and how Medicare contrasts with their group medical program. The education seminar is on the website, www.turning65seminar.com, which features several other Medicare Audio Visual educational seminars. All the seminars are available 24/7 on demand and for free. The website was created by Beta Benefits Insurance Services,Santa Ana, to help Medicare eligible members understand the Medicare Program.
The “Employers and Medicare: Creating A Win-Win” online seminar includes information which helps Employers deal with the trend where more of their employees work beyond age 65. The seminar helps both the Employer and employee compare Medicare with group medical benefits and premiums.
“Employers and Medicare: Creating A Win-Win” aids Employers to understand how their group health benefits compare with Medicare benefits. For example the educational seminar outlines how Employers can save from $300 to over $1,000 a month when just one of their Medicare eligible employees leave the group medical plan for Medicare.
Employees that migrate from their group health plan to Medicare often save money. Savings are achieved from the employee’s contribution to their group health plan premium and from the deductibles, coinsurance and copayments they must cover when using their group health plan. Medicare Advantage plans often have smaller copayments and reduced annual maximum out of pocket costs with either a low or no monthly premium.
According to Phil Calhoun, developer of the module and Partner of Beta Benefits, “Until this website, there was no Internet Audio Visual source for Medicare education. Our first modules focused on helping individuals understand Medicare basics. With this new “Employers and Medicare: Creating A Win-Win” module, the focus is on helping Employers as most either don’t have the time to find out or are unable to find information specific to an Employer.”
The timing for the new module fits well with the growing number of Baby Boomers aging into Medicare. With many Boomers still working, Employers will continue to face the significant financial impact on their business due to increasing group health premiums as employees advanced ages creates more claims than younger employers and cause higher premium increases.
Phil Calhoun explains, “Our goal is to help business owners and their advisors benefit from this information. To supplement the website module, we also offer onsite “Lunch and Learn” Medicare education and counseling for the Employer and their employees.”
Beta Benefits offers free Medicare educational seminars at several southern Californiahospitals; the seminars are open to all members of the community. The class listing is available on www.Deals4Boomers.com or contact Beta Benefits.
