ABSTRACT
In October 1998, the Health Care Financing Administration sent information to 38 million Medicare beneficiaries in five pilot states, consisting of a comprehensive handbook entitled Medicare and You. The purpose of the handbook is to clarify new options under Medicare+Choice to participants. Such clarification is bound to initiate contact by Medicare beneficiaries to former employers/unions. This article addresses employers' need to develop a communication strategy for beneficiaries and suggests a methodology and possible questions that may arise.
