Medicare Coverage & Veterans Benefits

4/10/2020

Although it is not absolutely necessary the VA STRONGLY encourages you to sign up for Medicare Part B. You may also want to consider getting a Medicare Advantage or Supplement plan as well. This is especially the case for veterans that are NOT in priority group 1. There is no guarantee that Congress will approve VA funds to treat Veterans for Priority Groups 2-8.
Here are just a few reasons why Veterans may consider enrolling in a private Medicare Supplement or Advantage Insurance Plan:

You do not live near a VA facility
You are enrolled in one of the VA lower priority groups, and could potentially lose your benefits*
Option to use local Doctors and Hospitals
Extra Benefits
Second opinions
Obtain treatment sooner than VA offers
Urgent Care (find out more about VA treatment for urgent care here)
