Are Medicare plans available for Veterans?

VA benefits cover specified hospitals, physical exams, prescriptions, etc. Veterans often find, however, that these benefits do not cover all of their needs. In that case, a Medicare Advantage plan is a better method of coverage.

If you have both VA benefits and Medicare Advantage, your coverage options greatly expand. You may choose care from either plan and use each to supplement the other if something is not covered. The perks of combining these plans include:

• Free or Low-Cost Healthcare
• Prescription Drug Coverage
• Low Out-Of-Pocket Costs
• Large Selection of Doctors and Hospitals
• Extra Benefits and Services Such as Vision and Dental
• Free Doctor’s Visits, Exams, etc.
