Retired from VA Using FEHB insurance. Turning 65 soon. I'm expected to buy Medicare B. My wife will be turning 65 in a couple of years. What is the benefit of paying FEHB and Medicare B? I know that the secondary pays left over bills from the primary insurance, but how likely is it that we will come out ahead after paying for Medicare B? Has anyone used just FEHB and regretted not having Medicare B?

Retired from VA. Using FEHB health insurance. Turning 65 soon. I'm expected to start paying into Medicare B. What is the benefit of paying for both? I know the secondary covers leftover bills from the primary. But, how likely is it that we will come out ahead after paying for Medicare B. FEHB is great. It covers both of us for life. Has anyone just used it?
