Questions and answers

Medicare Advantage plans offered by Medicare provide many of the same benefits as FEHB. Consider if you need FEHB coverage in addition to your Medicare Advantage plan. You have the option to suspend or cancel FEHB coverage if you do not want or need it while enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Before suspending or canceling FEHB, be sure to review the Medicare Advantage plan’s benefits carefully to make sure that the coverage meets your needs.


Also, understand that canceling FEHB coverage as an annuitant is permanent. In other words, you will not have the option to reenroll in FEHB if you cancel your FEHB coverage.
