   I have Medicare parts A&B as my primary & BCBS Standard as my secondary.  If I switch to BCBS Basic as my secondary will I have to pay copayments even though I have Medicare as my primary?  Will I also be limited as to what doctors I use even though I have Medicare as my primary?  If Medicare is my primary can I feel free to choose any FEHB plan and be covered 100%?

	There is a topic further down "Part A & B with BCBS Basic" that I believe talks about this topic. You can also look at the 2010 guide, starting at page 117, that is available on fepblue website.
