U.S. federal employee health insurance
12 years ago
I am a U.S. federal employee, planning to retire in one or two years.
U.S. federal employees are able to carry their health insurance with them into retirement, and at the same cost and coverage as currently employed federal employees.
I cannot seem to get an answer, though, if I wold lose my health insurance coverage should I choose to retire abroad.
My health insurance provider, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, could claimed not to know. Their only suggestion was that I contact the Office of Personnel Management, and hope for a reply.
If anyone on this list is a retired U.S. federal employee, and has retired abroad, perhaps you could share your advice and experience in regard to health insurance for U.S. federal employees.
Thanks.
