Q: I have Medicare, Tricare and Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage and was told that I should drop my BCBS and I would have the same coverage without the extra expense. What say you?
A: While I’m not in a position to advise you, I can tell you that many retirees with Tricare and Medicare Parts A & B have suspended – not dropped – their FEHB coverage and are satisfied with the results. By suspending your coverage, you protect your right to re-enroll if you lose Tricare coverage.
