Default Medicare Part B, FEHB, Tricare
Does anyone understand how the military plans play into this? I'm coming from a state where US Family Health is available so I carry Part A of Medicare but not Part B. Moving to The Villages removes this option and as I and my wife are 70 years old and 3 years past my retirement, we'd have to pay a penalty to get Part B, plus our income means we'd be in the higher $250+ a month category plus penalty. I "suspended" my FEHB when I retired so I guess our options are 1) get Medicare Part B plus Tricare for Life as a supplement, 2) use my FEHB plan without Part but with Tricare for Life as a supplement ?
