Preparing for Retirement

Whether you are 65 or 25 it’s never too soon to plan and prepare for healthcare after retirement.

As a Hill Physicians member your good health is our mission. Our vast resources in chronic disease services, member health improvement and complimentary medicine help you stay informed and help you manage your wellness at any age. We continue to develop and expand our online health resources to aid in your preventive care. Browse through the Your Health section or access Customer Services for examples.

As you approach retirement age there are some steps that we encourage members to take to aid in the transition of their healthcare.

Educate yourself on Medicare and Social Security.

Are you 64? In nine months you'll want to apply for Medicare at your local Social Security Administration office. You can apply as early as three months before your 65th birthday.

Do you already receive Social Security benefits? In that case you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare. You should receive a kit from Social Security with your Medicare card and more information a few months before your 65th birthday.

At Hill Physicians, our Medicare information section will provide you with details on:

• The A,B,C’s and D’s of Medicare
• Types of Medicare Plans
• Staying with your  Hill Physician

Hill Physicians looks forward to being your healthcare partner to ensure your retirement is a healthy one.
