Be VERY careful. If your BCBS is the same as mine from The VA, once you drop it you can't get it back. I have Fed BCBS as well as Medicare A and B. I pay for part B every month- maybe $180(?), but BCBS Refunds $800 of that to me in cash every year. Plus- BCBS recently enrolled me in medicare Part D (drugs) for FREE. Call BCBS of Florida to determine if your current plan offers these perks- or if you can switch to one like I described. I have NEVER paid a co-pay in the 2 years since I retired- and I'm at the doctors a couple of times every month.

We were thinking of getting a Medicare advantage plan. I was wondering if anyone has these and are they happy with them.
