How Veteran Savings Network helps with VA healthcare and Medicare

VA healthcare is generally received through VA facilities, with community care available in limited situations. Medicare can add flexibility to see providers outside the VA. The Social Security Administration notes that signing up for Medicare Part B may provide you with additional service and location options. Our licensed agents help you weigh whether adding Medicare makes sense for you, so you don't overpay or end up underinsured.

  • Understand how VA care and Medicare can work side by side.
  • Avoid paying for coverage you may not need.
  • Avoid gaps that could leave you underinsured.

"Helping you make your best Medicare decision today so you can have a better tomorrow."

VA healthcare and Medicare questions

If I have VA healthcare, can I also have Medicare?

Yes. Many veterans keep VA healthcare and add Medicare as well. A licensed agent can help you understand how the two may work together for your situation.

Will signing up for Medicare affect my VA benefits?

In most cases, having Medicare does not take away your VA healthcare. They are separate programs. A licensed agent can explain how they typically coordinate.

Should I take Medicare Part B if I already use the VA?

Per the Social Security Administration, Part B may provide you with additional service and location options, and delaying it may lead to a late enrollment penalty. It's worth reviewing your timing before your window closes.
