Medicare+Choice: challenges and opportunities.
Medicare will soon undergo major changes, as Medicare beneficiaries are given a complex array of plan options known as Medicare+Choice. These changes are an attempt to extend the financial solvency of Medicare, but they also offer employees an opportunity to redesign their retiree health plans. It is essential that employers are fully informed about the coming changes and communicate with retirees about them.
