My husband and I are also under FEP BCBS. However, when he went on Medicare, we researched it and came to the decision that he should opt for Part B as well.

Since going on Medicare, he has paid zero...no copays, no deductibles, nothing. Been very smooth sailing through several surgeries.

Still, this is not cheap. I keep asking myself if taking Part B in addition to BCBS was a good decision.

Would be interested in hearing any experiences.

also, would love to come to such a meeting as proposed above.
