Some of this is old but still valid.
I have had both BCBS Standard and Basic. The bottom line BCBS is so comprehensive it is highly unlikely that you will be out of network.
These articles are a mixed bag. I would suggest you search for Tammy Flannigan articles on Medicare Part B

Part B is now $170 per month each and higher if you had a higher income at age 63.

Thanks to all for your comments, appreciated.
After reading through all the material it is still unclear to me the benefit of signing up for Medicare Part B ($150/month) given I have the FEHB BCBS Standard Option insurance.
I see where the extra cost of Medicare Part B ($150/month) combined with the BCBS Basic Option is about the same price as the BCBS Standard Option, but one is limited to only in network providers instead of being free to choose in or out of network providers as with the Standard Option.
Have any of you opted out of Part B and just gone with the FEHB BCBS Standard option instead? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the topic. The FEHB BCBS Standard option covers all my needs now so I'm not unclear about the benefit to signing up for Part B.
Thanks in advance for sharing your insights.
All the best,
Jeff
