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.

I couldn't see any benefit to FEPBLUE and Part B. I sent a copy of my Medicare card to FEPBLUE showing only Part A so FEPBLUE is still my primary provider except for hospitalization where Medicare is primary. I have had my federal health insurance for over 42 years with no problems. I may be paying more than I should since I have the high option but it is what I feel comfortable with. I just don't trust government to administer my healthcare. Paranoid maybe but I can't help it.
