New Update: Healthcare Costs Increasing by Over 60% in Some States. Will you be impacted?

Is a Rollover into an IRA the Right Move for You as a AdaptHealth Employee?

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for AdaptHealth AdaptHealth primarily partners with various healthcare providers to deliver home healthcare solutions, including respiratory therapy and durable medical equipment. Specific partnerships may vary by location, but AdaptHealth collaborates with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, healthcare costs are anticipated to rise significantly, fueled by a combination of factors including the potential expiration of enhanced premium subsidies from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which could leave millions facing drastically increased out-of-pocket expenses. With insurers requesting average premium hikes of approximately 20% nationwide, and some states experiencing spikes exceeding 60%, more than 22 million consumers could see their monthly premiums swell by over 75%. The outcome of these rising costs could severely limit access to affordable healthcare for middle-income families, as they grapple with the cumulative impacts of increasing medical costs and reduced financial assistance.

Choosing an IRA rollover means that your money remains tax-advantaged and capable of growth, as in a AdaptHealth-sponsored plan. You may also gain more investment options than what may have been available in your AdaptHealth-sponsored plan. You may also gain oversight of managing these important retirement assets from your trusted Advisor.

If you roll your retirement plan assets over into an IRA account that you already own through your Advisor, you also receive the benefit of combined statements and holistic investment planning, making it easier to track your overall financial situation.

Some of the benefits of rolling your money into an IRA include:

Tax-deferred growth potential: This generally avoids current income tax and distribution penalties when removed from a AdaptHealth-sponsored retirement plan.

More investment choices: This allows for additional contributions, if eligible. IRAs can be combined and handled by one provider, thereby reducing trustee costs and consolidating statements. Protection from creditors in federal bankruptcy proceedings. The combined amount of your required minimum distributions (RMDs) can be taken from any of your Traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRAs.

However, there are also some important considerations that AdaptHealth should make before rolling over their money into an IRA, these include:

Internal management fees might be higher than in a AdaptHealth-sponsored retirement plan.
Fees and expenses depend largely on the investments you choose.
Loans from an IRA are not allowed.
Early distributions may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty in addition to income tax.
RMDs begin April 1 following the year you reach 70½ and annually thereafter; leaving the money in the former Fortune-500 plan may allow RMDs to be delayed until separation from service.
IRAs are subject to state laws governing malpractice, divorce, creditors (outside of bankruptcy), and other lawsuits; leaving the money in the former AdaptHealth-plan may provide additional protection against creditors.
Net unrealized appreciation (NUA) is the difference between what you paid for employer securities and their increased value. You lose favorable tax treatment of NUA if the funds are rolled into an IRA.

Hopefully, these insights will be helpful as you plan your retirement from AdaptHealth.
