VETERAN? LET'S MAKE SENSE OF HOW YOUR COVERAGE WORKS TOGETHER.

Understanding how VA health care, TRICARE, and Medicare coordinate can help you make informed decisions.

Pathway 1

VA Health Care + Medicare

VA health care and Medicare are separate systems. Eligible Veterans may receive care through VA facilities and, in certain circumstances, VA-authorized community care. Medicare may also provide access to Medicare-covered services through participating civilian providers. The value of Medicare Part B depends on each Veteran's individual circumstances.

VA eligibility, Community Care eligibility, Medicare eligibility, and costs vary by individual circumstances.

UNDERSTAND MY COVERAGE
Pathway 2

TRICARE For Life + Medicare

For many TRICARE-eligible retirees and family members entitled to premium-free Medicare Part A, Medicare Part A and Part B are generally required to maintain TRICARE eligibility and receive TRICARE For Life. Exceptions can apply based on individual eligibility and military status.

When a service is covered by both Medicare and TRICARE, the programs coordinate benefits according to TRICARE rules.

UNDERSTAND MY COVERAGE
Financial Resilience

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HEALTH INSURANCE ISN'T THE WHOLE FINANCIAL STORY?

These are separate insurance solutions that may help address certain financial exposures. They are not part of Medicare or any federal government program.

Cancer

Certain cancer insurance policies may provide cash benefits for covered cancer-related events, subject to the terms of the policy.

Heart Attack & Stroke

Certain critical illness policies may provide cash benefits for covered heart attack or stroke events, subject to policy terms.

Hospital Indemnity

Hospital indemnity coverage may provide specified benefits for covered hospital services or stays, subject to the terms of the policy.

Dental & Vision

Standalone dental and vision options may help address eligible services not fully covered by other health insurance.

Benefits, limitations, exclusions, and availability vary by carrier and policy.
