Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my TRICARE For Life if I enroll in a Medicare plan?
Absolutely not. TRICARE For Life stays in secondary position and continues to pay the portion Medicare doesn’t pay, just like it did before. Your TRICARE For Life coverage will not be affected in any way.
How much do these Medicare plans cost?
At Veterans Healthcare, we only offer Medicare plans that come at no additional cost to you. In fact, you’ll actually receive money back each month via the included Part B Premium reduction!
How are these Medicare plans paid-for?
We all know nothing is “free” — someone is footing the bill for your Medicare plan, but it’s the Government, not you.
Part C: Medicare Advatage was created by the Government in 1997 — private insurance companies are contracted, paid, and regulated to do the service work for Medicare, including additional benefits as part of the bundled package. The Government pays for the program, you pay some of your Part B Premium, and TRICARE For Life continues to act at secondary payer, picking up whatever Medicare doesn’t pay.
How will I receive the Part B premium reduction money?
Because of your discounted Medicare Part B premium, your Social Security check will grow. The contracted insurance company communicates directly with Social Security behind the scenes, ensuring you get your increase.
This isn’t “magical free money” — the Government taking a lower Medicare premium out of your Social Security leaves more money left over for you.
What happens to my ability to get medications on-Installation if I enroll in a Medicare plan?
We only offer Medicare plans designed to work with TRICARE For Life. None of these plans will alter your reception of prescription drugs. It will be exactly the same as it’s always been.
