Yes, I am a retired postal employee, you need to sign up for Part B within 8 months of retiring. Medicare will pay the first 80% and your government plan will cover the other 20%. I have GEHA standard option and don't pay any medical expenses. You have to sign up for Part B through Social Security. Don't be late or you will have to pay an extra 10% per year the rest of your life.
