I'm a Medicare/medicaid person since 2022 after spinal surgery. I start a new job paying $80,000 a year and I'm 66 years old. Do I just call about my new health insurance plan at work?

Congratulations on your new job at 66 - WOW !

Talk to the company’s HR dept - you will keep your Medicare and the company’s plan will be coordinated with Medicare - depending upon the size of the employer - Medicare will be primary or secondary. This publication explains it.
