Yes, that is the Standard policy. You have to pay a deductible. The basic option, you pay a Co-payment. I do not see the benefit of having Medicare B. If you have "B" you have to pay approx. $105 each or more. Like I said, I have the Federal BC/BS basic and Medicare A only. We save over $200 per month or over $2400 per year. Maybe I am looking at it wrong, but I see no benefit of having Medicare B if you have a full BS/BC policy. Just my opinion.
