Medicare Basics for Federal Retirees: Parts A, B, C, D + FEHB Coordination | Episode 3

Описание: In Episode 3 of our Health Insurance series, we break down Medicare in plain English — what changes at retirement, how it coordinates with FEHB, and what each “part” actually covers.

In this video, you’ll learn:

When Medicare becomes primary (typically when you separate/retire and have Medicare + FEHB)

While you’re still working at 65, you’re generally not required to enroll — but at retirement you may have a limited window to enroll to avoid penalties

Medicare Part A: hospital coverage

Medicare Part B: outpatient care (physicals, follow-ups) and why it’s often the part people debate

The key Tricare rule: Part B may be required for those using Tricare, even if still working

Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage): network-based plans (HMO/PPO style), referrals, and out-of-network limitations

Medicare Part D: prescription drug coverage and why it matters as drug costs rise
