Working Past 65? Here’s What Medicare REQUIRES You to Do
If you’re still working past age 65, figuring out Medicare can feel confusing — especially if you have employer coverage, an HSA, or you’re not sure if you need to sign up at all. In this video, I break down exactly what Medicare requires when you’re working past 65, what “creditable coverage” means, how HSA contributions are affected once you enroll in Medicare Part A, and how to avoid the late enrollment penalties that catch so many people off guard.
