[quote=Anonymous]My 82 year old mother has access to federal health benefits as a widow. My father had many specialists, so he always had both Medicare Part B and Federal retiree BCBS and never paid anything out of pocket. My mother is about to move into assisted living -- she has enough resources to last somewhere between 8-12 years. We'll help her if necessary, but want to be as careful as we can with spending. Her physical health is quite good, though her mental health is an issue. Does it make sense to keep both Medicare Part B and federal health insurance? The federal benefits are over $300 a month, expensive for someone with her income. Not a fed, so this whole world is a total mystery to me, thanks![/quote]
