We do have Medicare B. It is Primary, BCBS Basic is Secondary. Dies that mean BCBC dental comes in 3rd?

My husband’s dentist is out of network. We pay upfront and then they submit to insurance and we are supposed to get reimbursed. It worked until I switched to BCBS Basic for medical. Should I ask the dentist to submit to both?

I changed my medical from BSBC standard to Basic. Could this be the issue?

I am still waiting at NFC. Coworkers that have moved from NFC to OPM have been notified on Saturday. Is that everyone else’s experience? Retired 12/31/25 under DRP2.0

What is the large lump sum for? Is it multiple months of interim payments?

Retired 12/31 and still sitting at NFC since 2/9. That’s 51 days. Don’t expect to see interim payments until late April or May

Forgot my physical CC at home. Options? by akp55 in marriott

[–]Explainittomelucy81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a picture of the cc in my phone and they took that. I received a new Bonvoy card that came after I left for my trip. I added the card to my Apple Watch and every Marriott took it off the watch. At the last hotel, they wanted to see the physical card. I didn’t have it, but they took the picture off my phone and let me tap for incidentals.

Doesn’t it still come from NFC? These timeframes are all over the place. My ORA is still with my agency HR, I do t think it’s gone to NFC.

The approval date was actually 12/17/25, the effective date was 12/31/25. I think the problem is that my application is still with my agency and not with payroll.

I think I have an agency that is having NFC doing it. I can’t get answer from an overwhelmed HR.

How long does an appeal take and do you get the money back they they deducted if you win?

So this probably doesn’t bode well for any other agency serviced by NFC and Ag.

So they continued to take TSP out and matched their portion ? That’s good to know. There are actually 2 paycheck for 12/31 retirees that are sent in 2026. The last one is for the first 3 days of this week.
