Medicare

• Before you turn 65, you'll need to enroll in Medicare to keep your CalPERS health coverage.
• Once you retire, CalPERS becomes your health benefits officer.
• You can change your health plan and add/delete dependents during Open Enrollment (CalPERS) in the fall (or within 60 days of a qualifying status change).
• Your health premiums are deducted from your retirement pay.
