Medicare and VA Benefits: What You Need to Know
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) provides veterans with various benefits, including regular checkups, home health care, geriatric (elder) care and access to medical equipment, prosthetics and prescriptions within the VA healthcare system.
For many, signing up for Medicare Advantage plans for military retirees alongside VA benefits offers extra protection against high out-of-pocket medical costs and more flexibility when choosing healthcare providers.
Both Medicare and VA benefits are available to those eligible. When combined, VA benefits and Medicare Advantage plans for military retirees create a comprehensive safety for you and your family.
Can you collect VA disability and live outside the U.S.? Yes, veterans with service-connected disabilities are eligible for VA disability compensation regardless of their residence. The VA also offers the Foreign Medical Program (FMP), which pays for treatment at VA medical facilities worldwide.

Medicare Advantage Plans for Military Retirees
You may be eligible for insurance programs that work alongside your existing Medicare and VA coverage, often at no additional cost to you. These include:
Part B Partial Reimbursement
Part B partial reimbursements apply to retired members or qualified survivors who are enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B and eligible for a health subsidy.
Dental and Vision
Dental and vision insurance often allow you to choose your healthcare providers and visit a location that works best for you.
Urgent Care
Gain access to a broader network of urgent care facilities in a wider range of locations, ensuring you receive timely medical attention when you need it.
Hearing Benefits
Medicare Advantage plans for military retirees cover routine hearing exams, hearing aid fittings and the devices themselves, which are typically not covered by Original Medicare.
Over-the-Counter Benefits
Receive a quarterly or annual stipend that you can use to purchase items like vitamins, pain relievers, first aid supplies and other health-related products from approved retailers.
Gym Membership
Stay active and healthy at little or no cost. MAEA can help you choose a plan that offers fitness benefits, including access to nationwide fitness center networks.
How Medicare Advantage Plans for Military Retirees Complement VA Benefits
Keep your healthcare expenses low.
Comprehensive Coverage
While VA benefits offer comprehensive care, they are often limited to VA facilities and services within the VA network. Medicare Advantage plans for military retirees provide access to a broader network of doctors and hospitals.
Reduced Out-of-Pocket Costs
Medicare Advantage plans often have caps on out-of-pocket spending, which can help protect veterans from high medical expenses that VA benefits alone might not cover. This offers additional financial protection and peace of mind.
More Care Options
Medicare Advantage plans fill gaps in VA coverage, ensuring veterans receive the full spectrum of care they need. These may include access to specialists, prescription drug coverage and additional services such as dental and vision care.
