Veterans Without CHAMPVA or TRICARE
If You:
• Are a Veteran
• Use VA care
• Do not have CHAMPVA or TRICARE
Then: Medicare Advantage May Be a Good Option
Why?
You can:
• Use VA care for service-connected care
• Use Medicare Advantage for civilian care, including:
– Civilian doctors
– Specialists
– Dental, vision, and hearing benefits
– Over-the-counter (OTC) benefits
– Transportation benefits
– Part B premium giveback on some plans (availability and amounts vary)
VA care and Medicare Advantage generally do not conflict when used appropriately.
