Medicare & HRAs – What Employers Need to Know
June 10, 2025
10-11 a.m.
As more employees become Medicare-eligible, employers are faced with a unique opportunity to support informed choices while managing healthcare costs. Many older employees remain on group health plans simply because Medicare feels overwhelming or unfamiliar—but it doesn’t have to be.
Catapult Benefit Solutions Manager Martha is teaming up with John Leary from Health Perspectives to talk about Medicare for Employers—a smart option for Medicare-eligible employees who may want to leave the group health plan.
John Leary brings clarity to the Medicare conversation, explaining how eligible employees can transition off the group plan—entirely at their discretion—in a way that can lead to savings for both the individual and the organization. He’ll break down how Medicare works, address common misconceptions, and walk through real-life benefits of the switch.
Martha will also share how an HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) can be part of the solution. With this approach, employers can support Medicare-eligible employees by helping cover premiums, adding an extra layer of value to the transition.
