About the event
The VA does not recommend Veterans cancel or decline coverage in Medicare (or other health care or insurance programs) solely because they are enrolled in VA health care. Â Unlike Medicare, which offers the same benefits for all enrollees, VA assigns enrollees to enrollment priority groups based on a variety of eligibility factors, such as service-connection and income.
There is no guarantee that in future years Congress will appropriate sufficient medical care funds for VA to provide care for all enrollment priority groups. Â This could leave Veterans, especially those enrolled in one of the lower-priority groups, with no access to VA health care coverage.
For this reason, having a secondary source of coverage may be in Veterans’ best interest.
Come and learn how these benefits can work together and what options are available for you!
