General

Everyone out there seems to want to sell me something.
My Wife and I are on Tri-Care Prime and I do most of my medical through the VA.
Now I’m told I have to make some changes and gwt medi-care?

Perhaps you can elaborate? In the mean time: https://tricare.mil/LifeEvents/Medicare

I’m just completely clueless.
Thanks for the link, I will give them a call.

Wife uses an agent to explain the Medicare labyrinth. All the extra co-insurance, drug plans and what all else is more than I care to learn. Good luck.

Not looking forward to when that day comes. But hey, Medicare must be pretty awesome, it’s not like the .gov needs to use the power of the law to force older Americans into it. Err, wait…

Best of luck figuring it out. Now I really need this board to hold on. I’ll need you to explain it to me in a few years.

Tri Care doesn’t last the rest of your life? Or does it become a supplement to Medicare Part A and Part B?

I believe that’s the case;
Like I said I have Tri-Care for my Wife and Myself, but most of the time I use the VA.
The only reason I use the VA is that they’ve been my primary for like a decade. My Docotors were more predictable with VA than Tri-Care.
But I’ve got to track down exactly what I have to do, I’m really not sure of the logic in all of this, I was happy with my Medical Care.

You can keep using the VA for life while enrolled in Medicare.

Gonna have to figure it out for your wife.
