9 Things Everyone Must Do Before Even Considering Retirement

3) See your Doctors

Before you leave your job, it’s a good idea to visit doctors that are covered under your employer-sponsored health insurance. Have your doctor do a check-up, and get all your prescriptions refilled. It’s especially important to do this if you wear glasses, have hearing aids, or need your teeth checked out. Medicare Part A and Part B do not cover routine dental procedures, like fillings and cleanings. They also don’t cover eyeglasses or hearing aids. When you go on Medicare, you’ll have to learn the ins and outs of the system, and you may have to find new doctors who take Medicare. If you see your current doctors before you retire, you’ll be able to wait a few months before you have to start figuring out your new healthcare, and any supplemental policies you may need.
