Question

Posted March 9, 2006 (edited)

On another board it was stated that ..."ChampVA covers the annual deductible for Medicare. Usually there will be no cost to you unless..."

My question is ...

Would Tricare cover the annual deductible for retirees? Would they pay just for the Vet or the family?

I can't see why they would pay for the non retiree through ChampVA and not pay for the retiree through Tricare.

Joe is getting ready to go on Medicare in June. Would "we" and/or "He" go on Tricare for Life or stay on regular or Tricare Prime?

This really get confusing.

Thanks,

Brenda
