I currently have health care from my former employer (BCBS) and plan to move from Michigan to Washington next year when DW will retire, with similar coverage.
I'm trying to get my arms around the implications for our health care insurance between now and Medicare. Obviously, we need to talk to our current insurers, but before doing that I'd like to figure out what questions need to be asked and answered.
Is it typical for a large carrier like Blue Cross to have some kind of extended or reciprocal "in network" agreements in other states?
As a worst case scenario, if we had to buy new health insurance locally, would having the ex-employer health care insurance ball things up more than help?
