Medicare Enrollment at benefitbay

If your company has Medicare-aged employees (or dependents), benefitbay's in-house Medicare team handles their enrollment and support — no outside enrollment partner needed.

Combining Medicare and ICHRA is nuanced: Medicare qualifies as individual coverage, Parts A & B are mandatory, employees on Medicare can't also carry group coverage. Employer contributions can be used toward all Medicare supplemental plans for employees and their dependents.

benefitbay's Medicare team manages the full journey — education, enrollment, payments, and ongoing support — all within the benefitbay platform. Advisors are licensed in all 50 states, appointed with all major Medicare carriers, and are W-2 employees who don't receive commission, so guidance is unbiased. Employees are guided through whichever path fits them: new to Medicare and ICHRA, approaching 65, or renewing with or without changes. In every case, autopay is verified and an audit confirms there are no payment gaps or discrepancies.

Employees also have access to a Medicare Education Hub with self-paced videos and articles, and benefitbay leads dedicated Open Enrollment webinars for Medicare-eligible employees.

If you have any questions about Medicare enrollment for your group, or if you already have a preferred Medicare partner you'd like to continue working with, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
