Many veterans are surprised to learn that VA benefits and Medicare work together — and having both can give you more flexibility, more coverage, and more peace of mind.
Unlike VA benefits, your TRICARE For Life (TFL) benefits can be affected by some Medicare plans. It’s important to review your options carefully before making a change.
If you are a veteran turning 65, already enrolled in Medicare, currently using VA healthcare, or using TFL, it's important to understand how your benefits coordinate so you can make the best decision for your healthcare needs.
