As stated I’m stacking DOD retirement and a DOE/NNSA retirement. Took the dental and vision plan from DOE and turned down the DOE medical due free Tricare now.

I’m told at or after 65 I have to purchase medicare part B and go “tricare for life” .... is that something y’all may know more about ?

Grateful if ya have time.

My wife is on the Medicare Part B TriCare for Life - it works great. I no longer pay her TriCare premium because it becomes an automatic supplement to Medicare. She still has all TriCare pharmacy benefits (have to make sure outside druggists know that it’s still TriCare because it will bollix things up if they try to bill Medicare) and even retained her on-base PCM. She can go to any doctor that takes Medicare and TriCare picks up what Medicare doesn’t pay. Once you get used to it, you’ll like it.
