Medicare and Tricare How Do They Work Together

TRICARE® is the military’s health care program for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. It covers every location in which a servicemember may need to travel; from combat zones overseas back home on U.S soil (TRICARE Prime). TRICARE also has plans designed just for veterans that cover them after they retire or separate from active duty with benefits such as vision and dental coverage (TRICAREPAC).

Medicare is a federal entitlement program that helps pay medical bills of citizens over 65 years old who have been living in the United States long enough if certain conditions apply. Medicare will work alongside TRICARE by providing secondary insurance should there not be any other option available to you through your employer.

TRICARE and Medicare Enrollment: this means you’ll need to decide if going with TRICARE or Defense Health Agency (DHA) healthcare is best for your health needs. If you don’t enroll in the appropriate plan within 90 days of becoming eligible, then it’s too

TRICARE For Life is an optional Medicare wraparound coverage for TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries who have all of the following: Part A and B, plus a paid part B premium. One benefit to this secondary coverage includes being able to enroll in it worldwide with no enrollment fee!

In order to receive the TRICARE For Life benefits, it’s important that your Medicare plan be compatible. You might want Part A and B coverage in addition to drug prescription benefits or an Advantage option with both. However, if this is not necessary for you because of other private health insurance coverage then there are still plenty more ways to save on costs like dental care and services at VA facilities throughout the country.

The Medicare program provides health benefits to people who are age 65 or older, have been eligible for Social Security disability insurance for at least 24 months, and meet other requirements. The TRICARE For Life Program is a Department of Defense-sponsored long-term care benefit that will pay your monthly premiums up until the time you die. With both programs in place, it’s much easier to pay for healthcare costs because there won’t be any out-of-pocket expenses when visiting an authorized provider.
