Becoming eligible for Medicare is an important milestone you need to be mindful of. If you’re considering enrolling in Medicare, you’ll need to pay attention to Medicare requirements in order to apply. You can review this information on Medicare.gov.
While you and/or your spouse/domestic partner can choose to remain on an Intuit medical plan, it’s important to understand how your medical plan works if you decide to enroll in Medicare.
If you or your spouse are 65+
If you continue medical coverage under Intuit, Medicare pays secondary benefits to both you and your spouse. You’re not required to enroll in Medicare at age 65, because you already have employer-provided coverage in place. The Intuit plan pays primary benefits.
If you are 65+ and your domestic partner is under 65
If you continue medical coverage under Intuit, Medicare pays secondary benefits to both you and your domestic partner. You’re not required to enroll in Medicare at age 65, because you already have employer-provided coverage in place. The Intuit plan pays primary benefits.
If your domestic partner is 65+
Your domestic partner should consider enrolling in Medicare Part B once they become eligible.
The Intuit plan pays secondary benefits to your domestic partner whether or not they enroll in Medicare.
