Do Military Veterans need Medicare when they turn 65?

While not mandatory, enrolling in Medicare provides veterans with greater flexibility, broader access to health care providers, and protection against potential changes in VA or TRICARE benefits. It's a proactive step to ensure comprehensive health coverage throughout retirement.

EXPAND for a more detailed answer!

VA health care typically covers services provided at VA facilities or those pre-authorized by the VA. Medicare, on the other hand, allows you to receive care from a wide range of non-VA providers and hospitals. This flexibility is especially valuable if you travel, relocate, or live far from a VA facility.

VA health care eligibility and funding can change over time. Enrolling in Medicare ensures you have continuous access to health care services, even if your VA benefits change or become limited.

While the VA provides prescription drug coverage, enrolling in Medicare Part D or a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage can offer additional options, such as access to local pharmacies and medications prescribed by non-VA doctors.

Dear California Seniors,

Do you understand Medicare Supplement Plans: Plan G vs. Plan N?

🔹 Plan G: More coverage, fewer out-of-pocket costs after the Part B deductible.
🔹 Plan N: Lower premiums, but you may pay small copays and excess charges.

Both options help cover what Original Medicare doesn’t — the key is finding the one that fits your healthcare needs and budget.

📍If you're reviewing your Medicare options and want to learn more about how these plans work, send a message. I'm here to make Medicare easier to understand.

💡 Surprised by a Medicare Part A Premium?

If you or your spouse didn’t work and pay Medicare taxes for at least 10 years (40 quarters), you may owe a monthly premium for Part A coverage — as much as $518/month in 2025.
