Need help with Champva. I retired from the Government and kept my health insurance (Humana HMO). My wife had to retire from her job due to Cancer, and has been on Social Security Disability for about 10 years. She is now 63. She automatically got a Medicare Part A card.
Now, Champva wants her to get Part B before they will complete the processing of the application. I have also heard that Part B would be the primary payer, humana second and then champva.
My effective date for my 100% P&T was Feb 16, 2010, and I had hopes of getting some of the wife's co-payments reimbursed, but it does not look like it now. Is it a waste of time to even complete the champva application?
I can not give up the humana insurance due to my son.
