Understanding Medicare & VA Benefits
You Can Have Both—And You Should Know Why That Matters
What Are VA Benefits?
The VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) provides eligible Veterans with access to healthcare through the VA medical system. This includes:
Hospital and primary care at VA facilities
Prescription medications from VA pharmacies
Services based on priority groups and income eligibility
While VA care is a powerful benefit, it’s limited to VA facilities—and it may not cover everything you need.
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is federal health insurance for people age 65 and older or those under 65 with certain disabilities. It has several parts:
Part A: Hospital Insurance (usually free if you’ve worked enough years)
Part B: Medical Insurance (covers doctor visits, outpatient care)
Part C: Medicare Advantage (combines A & B, may include drug coverage and extras)
Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage
Most Veterans are eligible for both VA healthcare and Medicare.
You Served Our Country. Now It’s Time to Serve You.
As a U.S. Veteran, you’ve earned access to VA healthcare. But did you know that you can also enroll in Medicare—and that doing so may give you more coverage, more choice, and more convenience?
At Military Medicare, we’re here to make it clear: Medicare and VA benefits work together. And when used wisely, they can help you take full control of your healthcare.
Why Enroll in Medicare If You Have VA Benefits?
Here’s what many Veterans don’t realize:
01
More Freedom
Medicare lets you see non-VA doctors and use civilian hospitals.
02
More Access
You can get care closer to home, especially in emergencies.
03
More Coverage
Medicare Advantage plans often include vision, dental, hearing, and wellness benefits.
04
Lower Costs
Some plans reduce or even eliminate your Part B premium, saving you up to $174.70/month.
Will Medicare Affect My VA Benefits?
No. Enrolling in Medicare will NOT affect your VA benefits.
You can still receive all the services you’re entitled to at VA facilities. Medicare simply gives you more options when you need them.
