This is the sort of info I'm hoping to get. My wife is covered by my insurance and almost never goes to the doctor- but no telling what the future holds. I'm at one doctor or another constantly- along with MRIs, x-rays, dermatologist, etc.

So I guess you are saying that even though your wife has insurance you have found adding Part B to be worthwhile $$$. Maybe not so much for my wife.
