Your AT&T Medical Summary Plan Description should spell out in detail what happens to your coverage when you become Medicare eligible. If it is the same as when I retired from AT&T, your AT&T Plan will become your secondary insurance. Note a secondary plan is not he same as a Medicare Supplement, but you don't pay for it. Also worth noting, if you have a Prescription Plan from AT&T it would be better to keep it than it would be to switch to Medicare D. There is no donut hole in the AT&T Plan.

Of course if Congress changes things we will have to see what companies like AT&T will do to retiree benefits.
