I just received my information and form to complete for my insurance. It also
states that I must have not only Medicare parts A and B, but the part D also
for drug and prescriptions. Even with Humana I don’t have to have Part D. It’s
my understanding you have to pay for that too. So I’ll be calling Retirement
myself to get this straightened out. Sounds like retiring with the state has
gone way downhill.

Hi Rich,
Well, have you talked to the Michigan retirement people? I think Blue Cross
will cover you if Medicare doesn't. I am not an expert, but I had strictly
Blue Cross for quite a few years before Medicare kicked in. Blue Cross
covered everything before Medicare.
I had, and am still having problems with Social Security. At 1 point, they
almost discontinued my Medicare. Blue Cross would have covered the things
that Medicare was supposed to if they would have suspended my Medicare,
according to the state benefits people.
These things are so confusing. I never am totally sure who does what. You
get different answers from different people. There must be a solution to
all this mess. Not sure if I can do anything, but let me know and I will
try, since I am here in Lansing, I may be able to go to an office or
something for you.
Warm Regards,
Fred

OK, Vicki Rolison says there are smart people on this list? OK smart people
I have a problem.
In 2009 I discontinued my part b and medicare since I was gonna be on my
wifes insurence. She retired last march and cobra runs out in October.
In July I wanted to reinstate the medicare part b. They said I can't since
I waited to long after my wife retired. You have to do it with in 8 months
of retirement. Since she retired in March of 2013 I blew that. I can't get
medicare until January and it won't start until July of 2015.
All other insurence takes 6 months to start. I can't even get insurence
through my retirement from vending in michigan because I don't have parts a
and b medicare. I do have part a so at least there's that. I'm putting
this out there so no one else makes the same mistake. After september I'll
have no insurence at age 62. I really screwed up.To send a message,
