Q: You wrote that basic health insurance coverage can be continued after qualifying for Medicare as a supplement, yet when I try to get rates for someone 65 or over at www.BasicHealthInsurance.net the site does not allow that.
A: Basic Health Insurance is issued to individuals online only up to age 65 but once a policy is issued it may be kept in force until age 70 in addition to Medicare. When this health insurance is offered through an employer-sponsored group plan there are no age restrictions under federal law. Rates for group plans are not quoted online but are available in the employer's enrollment brochure available online. The employer enrollment materials are available from the home page at www.Basichealthinsurance.net just below the section for individuals and families.
