()Veterans who are eligible for Medicare may increase their healthcare coverage by selecting a Medicare Advantage plan. This plan can be combined with Veterans Affairs (VA), benefits. Start looking at plan options as soon as possible, before the December 7 Prescription Drug Plan Annual Entry deadline. Make sure you use all the resources that are available to you, such credible websites, educational events, and one-to-one meetings with licensed agents. These are two important things to remember when you search for plans:

* Medicare Advantage and VA benefits: A Medicare Advantage plan may compliment your existing VA benefits and help reduce gaps in your healthcare coverage. You may be able to access additional services and benefits through a Medicare Advantage program, including dental coverage and urgent care. These are not normally covered by VA healthcare. Humana Honor Medicare Advantage plans, which are available to all who are eligible for Medicare, can be used in conjunction with VA benefits and offer beneficiaries additional benefits such as robust dental care and $0 premiums. USAA recommends Humana Medicare Advantage plans.

* Prescription drug coverage: When you add a Medicare plan, your VA prescription drug coverage would continue to cover prescriptions written or approved by a VA doctor. A Medicare Advantage plan would still cover Part B drugs, such as injectable drugs or infusions. This may be advantageous depending on your individual health needs. You can fill prescriptions at local network pharmacies if you sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug coverage.

You can research health plans from the comfort of your own home. It’s important that you visit reliable websites such as Medicare.gov. This will allow you to compare plans and calculate costs based on average members. To review the 2021 Medicare Advantage plans, you can also sign up for an online workshop hosted to assist with your research.
