Read More »Even with Medicare, it's no secret that health care can cost you a pretty penny in retirement. "But many retirees don't fully appreciate just how much, in part because they believe Medicare covers more than it actually does," says David Jamison, a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and senior manager with Schwab's Centralized Planning Group. Original Medicare comprises Part A, which covers hospital stays, and Part B, which covers doctor visits. Many other expenses and services you might assume were routine—such as dental, hearing, and vision care, as well as copays and prescription drugs—are covered only through supplemental plans, which cost extra. For more complete coverage, you may need multiple plans. For example, you can sign up for Medicare's stand-alone prescription drug program, known as Part D, as well as purchase a private Medigap policy to help cover deductibles, coinsurance, and copays. You could also add private insurance to cover routine dental, hearing, and vision care. It's important to understand that each approach may come with costs and trade-offs. Medigap plans, for instance, may mean fewer out-of-pocket expenses but generally have higher premiums. Medicare Advantage, on the other hand, may have lower premiums but could involve more out-of-pocket expenses. All told, it's reasonable to start with a budget between $450 and $850 per month per person for health care costs, including plan premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. The amount can vary widely, though, based on your situation as well as your current and future health or care needs. "To help meet the rising costs of health care in retirement, a useful strategy to consider is contributing to a health savings account (HSA) each year while you're working, if eligible," Rob says. Contributions to HSAs are federally tax deductible, earnings are tax-free, and withdrawals are also tax-free if used for qualified medical expenses, which include Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket costs but not Medigap and Medicare Advantage premiums. You can keep these savings, invest them without a drag from taxes, and use them in retirement to cover all or a portion of your health care costs, including premiums.
