What you need to know
Your health insurance needs change as you get older, and you’ll have new questions. When should you enroll in Medicare? Which plan should you pick? What if you want to retire early? Those answers are different for everyone. That’s why, as of January 1, 2023, Workday offers health plan support through Via Benefits to our longer-term Workmates who are looking to retire.
Concierge support
The health insurance system doesn’t get simpler when you retire. Anything but. With Via Benefits, you don’t have to stress about navigating retiree health care. You’ll have experts by your side, before and after you retire, to empower your health care decisions.
Via Benefits offers retiree plans on their digital marketplace—but it’s not an insurance company. The service is available to help you understand the plans available to you, to take full advantage of your coverage, and to guide you as you make a decision.
Their benefit advisors can help you:
- Compare medical plans for both pre-Medicare and Medicare-eligible retirees
- Enroll in Medicare Supplement plans, Medicare Advantage plans, and prescription drug plans when you become eligible, through the Via Benefits Medicare marketplace
- Find dental and vision coverage, hearing aids, hospital insurance, and home care insurance
- Confirm your provider's network participation
Via Benefits is available to retirees older than age 55 with at least 10 years of service at Workday.

How Via Benefits works with COBRA coverage
If you currently have COBRA and are coming to the end of that coverage period, you can use Via Benefits to help you select a new plan.
Save for the long haul
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a powerful retirement savings tool. If you have money in your HSA from before you retired, you can continue to use it in retirement for eligible expenses. When you get older, you’ll be thanking your smarty-pants younger self for stashing that money away.
