Retiring early is an exciting achievement, but before you leave the workforce it's important to have a plan for your health insurance.
If you're retiring before age 65, you'll need coverage until you become eligible for Medicare. Depending on when you retire, that could mean several years of finding a plan that fits both your healthcare needs and your retirement budget.
Many people are surprised to learn they have more than one option and that some Arizona residents may also qualify for private health insurance depending on their individual circumstances.
As you prepare for retirement, it's worth considering:
- Your expected monthly healthcare costs
- Whether you want to keep seeing your current doctors
- The deductible and out-of-pocket costs you're comfortable with
- How your coverage fits into your overall retirement plan
Choosing health insurance is an important part of building a successful retirement. Taking the time to compare your options before you retire can help you avoid gaps in coverage and give you confidence as you begin this new chapter.
