If your question is not answered

Federal Times’ experts cannot answer every question submitted. You’ll have the best chance of getting an answer to your question if you follow these steps:

• Ask questions that have not previously been answered. Before submitting a question, review the Q&As already on the site. Review the Frequently Asked Questions or use the "Search" tool above.

• Provide sufficient information about yourself — for instance, a question about retirement should say which retirement system you are in.

• Do not expect personal legal, financial or career advice. Answers that require a legal opinion, particularly those involving divorce and court orders, cannot be provided.

Medical coverage

January 30th, 2013 | HEALTH INSURANCE Medicare Uncategorized

Q. My husband is a retired federal employee and has Blue Cross Standard through the federal government. If he dies before I do, can I keep the medical coverage? And should we consider going to the basic Blue Cross Blue Shield plan if we have Medicare Part B?

A. As long as he is enrolled in the self and family option and you are receiving a survivor annuity, you will be able to continue that coverage.

Whether you should change your FEHB coverage level if you have Medicare Part B is something you’ll have to figure out for yourselves. You can do that by comparing the benefits, coinsurances and deductibles.
