What is ChampVA ?

How is the prescriptions cost under Tri Care?

What is the cost for Tricare for Life? Is there monthly or yearly premiums?

Why don't you mention supplemental plan options?

If you make a six diget income $170k plus, your cost will be higher

My wife and I only paid $55 a month for family coverage with Tricare Prime. Now, upon turning 65, my wife has the privilege of having to pay Medicare Part B premiums at $185 a month. She just got her first bill for 4 months for $740! I start with Medicare in a few months, and I assume I'll pay the same premiums. So instead of $55 a month we will be going to $370. It seems to me that the older we get when we can least afford it we are further penalized financially. I don't understand why the government forces us out of Tricare Prime to have to accept Medicare just to make seniors pay more for their healthcare.

For the question " Are you covered under a Group Health Plan?" if I am retired but still have health insurance from my employer that I retired from would I click yes or no since I am not currently employed? Thanks

I'm a military retiree who will be signing up for Medicare in the very near future. Thank you for the informative video. I am not currently receiving Social Security benefits and do not plan to for several more years. Consequently, I will be paying Medicare Part B premiums quarterly. When I start receiving Social Security benefits, will the Part B premiums be automatically deducted, or will I need to apply for this? Also, is it possible for a military retiree to have Part B premiums deducted from their military pension check?

Does Tricare for life have an option to cover dental coverage for dentures

Joe, Do they deduct the hospital rider from your Medicare premium. Or is it a separate bill? You really helped me out with your explanation. Thanks.

12:40 pm . Do I also receive coverage for vision and dental with my tricare for life and my medicare plans

Hello my name is Mary and I wanted to know if I should also sign up for champ VA with my Medicare as a Wife of a 100% disabled Veteran?

How do you submit the proof of credible coverage?

With an advantage plan, don't you also have either copays or coinsurance?

If you are derated from 100 percent total and permanent disability because of a miraculous cure, what happens to champva?

I have Medicare A&B with Tri Care for Life. My question is do I need to buy a Health Insurance policy also?

Home care option plan Amount $50+ per month Good health=qualifications.

The best explanation I have scene

@20Schmidt How long does the SSA retirement benefits application process normally take? (application submission confirmation to receiving award letter). Has been a 6-month wait for myself (application received confirmation on March 20, 2024) so far. My application has been reviewed and they said I have the 40+ work credits to receive benefits. Waiting for the award letter. Have read it usually takes 3-5 months. Can anyone who's been through the process tell me how long it took? Getting concerned (thought i'd have received my letter in August...realistic timeframe). Thank You for any input.

You are awesome its knowledgeable

Thankyou for your help in explaining it to me. I had already decided on just going with medicare and my wifes champ va. This decision was made when my wifes physical therapist company is owned by Humana but if my wife had Humana instead of champ va the company would not have treated my wife. Thats pretty bad when the therapist not reccommend their own company Humana. So if my wife went with some plan just for the dental and vision then she might be giving up her choice in doctors for her care.

What if I have FEHB and Tricare and I am currently 64. What is the best strategy for when I am eligible for Medicare?

Upon receiving Champva, can we cancel our secondary insurance “Aetna” ?

Is Part D through Medicare? I have to sign up for Part A and B now that I’ve turned 65 even though I have health insurance from my domestic partner’s company because SSA doesn’t recognize domestic partnership. For Part D purposes would my partner’s health policy which I am covered under be considered “credible coverage “ so that I wouldn’t have to sign up for Part D with no penalty imposed since I have drug coverage from my partner’s health plan?

9:00, although on the screen it mentions "Over-the-Counter Monthly Credit" but you made absolutely no mention or expanded the explanation on what this is about in the video. Please elaborate.

This is a fine overview which shows why it is worth the while of some veterans with Tricare for Life to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan. Please correct me if I'm wrong. You state several times that if a Tricare for Life beneficiary opts for a Medicare Advantage Plan that he has to make sure that his doc participates in that Medicare Advantage Plans. I've been doing my research as I am planning to enroll in a MA plan during open enrollment in October. I am led to believe that even though there may be greater "out of pocket expenses UP FRONT when you choose a doctor outside of the plan, that all one needs to do is file a claim with Tricare (online or through regular mail), and they will reimburse you completely, so long as it's a covered service for Medicare. So in essence, their "out of pocket maximums" for both in-network and out of network are truly irrelevant. Am I missing something here? Thanks, in advance. (For full disclosure, I got to about 5 or 6 different doctors over the course of the year. Of all my my physicians, only one is not in the Aetna Network). So my paperwork to submit claims to Tricare for Life should be minimal and I should be 100% reimbursed which is pretty much what I have with regular Medicare (parts A and B) and Tricare for Life. The major reason for me to enroll in Medicare Advantage (along with my wife) is for all the extra "perks" - like gym memberships, lowered Medicare Part B costs, Dental, hearing, OTC Meds, Vision, and even reimbursements for golf, massage or exercise equipment! I honestly don't see the downside even if one of my docs, who I see quarterly, does not participate in my Medicare Advantage plan. I estimate that the out of pocket savings for things that I would normally need, like gym membership, OTC items, dental, hearing and more will save the two of us at least $5,000-$6,000 annually - nothing to sneeze at! Any thoughts?

$164.90 plus taxes taken out, doesn't leave you with much.

Thank you

Does Tricare for Life provide dental coverage?

I am penalize for being late. When President Trump comes back I will write to him on this ridiculous charges. I have to pay $25 a month.

Great video! Question: can someone get medicare and 51 years old with champva ...?

Joe ! I am an 86 year old veteran . App 10 years ago with the advent of the Choice Program and currently Community Care program I opted out of Medicare part b and currently saving me 2100 in annual premiums . During the past 10 years 100 percent of my medical is covered by the Va . In the past 6 years all my medical care albeit hospitals ,clinics , physicians and testing has been handled by non VA hospitals or physicians et al . The VA has always approved of said treatment and as a result no cost to me . Additionally all my scripts, vision and hearing tests and needs are paid by the VA . The only area not covered is preventive dental and about 5-10 percent of my scripts ! I have never had a problem regardless of the states involved . My dental out of pocket is about 500 annually and my scripts total app 300 annually . Check it out as any Veteran who is eligible for Community Care ( more than 40 or 60 miles from a VA facility) should be eligible . Tom

Raised 3 kids on champva, over a 20 year span, in 4 different states only 1 doctor accepted champva. It is completely useless.

Should I drop supplemental plan f since I have champ Va? I see no reason for both. Am I missing something something? Thank you!

Okay so my situation is that my wife was on champva but when she turned 65 champva dropped her because social security office said she wasn’t eligible for Medicare or social security benefits so she applied under my social security benefits and was denied because the social security office told her they didn’t have our marriage certificate on file so I am wanting to know that once she gets the social security benefits and Medicare benefits will she be able to get back into the champva

I believe you have to have Part B for Tricare for Life to pay as a Secondary

Awesome job, MC Joe! 🇺🇲 💯 🇺🇲

Should I drop Blue Cross and Blue shield, since I have VA , Tricare?

I just applied CHAMPVA for my dependent wife who is retiring this month. I was told the application for champva could take 6 to 9 months. what Medicare insurance should she get to cover all her Health Care needs for the mean time? where is she going to get her Medicine? if she's not allowed to sign up for part D? Anybody out there who can enlighten me?

I have Champva, but my husband is a disabled vet and gets care thru TriWest for out of area care. How does that work with Medicare?

What would help is number examples, like : individual goes to er via ambulance, gets admitted, has 6 day stay with surgery, then outpatient services etc…. What are the costs per each. I don’t actually have an example but these kinds of examples from other channels help me understand OM, Sup G, & Adv. but what about TFL?

In what scenario would you ever advise a veteran with original medicare + tricare for life to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan?

Champ va is for ones family...not the vetran. So what are you talking about
