0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted July 28, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 28, 2017 ChampVA is a gift if you qualify. I have Medicare, and Letter Carrier's insurance from federal government. My wife has Medicare, Letter Carrier's and ChampVA. The biggest expense we face as we get older is illness, so if I am eligible I will take all I can get if I can afford it. You never know what the feds or insurance criminals might do next so keep all the insurance you can get. A couple of years ago I had surgery to implant a device for sleep apnea. It cost well over $100,000. Insurance paid for it all. The VA would not cover it nor even do the operation. Illness is the number one reason for bankruptcy in the USA.

0 jfrei Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I was saying her boss wants to give her a stipend for the cost of the healthcare 202 monthly to help pay we were going to use it for the deductible for champ. But since we were backdated since Nov for champ the marketplace representative said she didn't know if we had to pay back the tax credit that was given to us since champ was backdated now I'm. Stress yet again... what the hell I can't ever just catch a break right now she said she was new but after that i hung up and there is nothing on Google what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator broncovet Posted July 29, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2017 Well, I think you should be stressed on Korea having nuclear weapons instead. Or maybe worry about your home being sucked into a sinkhole. Based on your post you said, "we were going to use it for the deductable for champva" Ok, so you used the money for something else, so what? Everything does not always need to go into a perfect cubby hole. It really did not sound like your boss required you to use the 202 monthly stipend on health copays and deductables, you apparently can use this on other medical stuff too. Oh, say, OTC medications that insurance wont pay for. Gas to go to the doctor. Band Aids. Toothpaste. ETC. ETC. Heck, even healthy food to keep you from going to the doctor. Your boss is giving you an extra 202 per month to help with healthcare expenses uncovered by insurance. Its a blessing and treat it as such. Dont create a problem when none is there. Sometimes its better to deal with the 1 problem out of 100 that happens rather than worry about the other 99 that wont happen. seminoles and jfrei 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bleggett29 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You should be able to have both insurance policies simultaneously, so you shouldn't need to worry about having to "give back" the tax credit. From what I understand is that CHAMPVA works like Medicare - CHAMPVA is always secondary payer if you have other insurance. The other insurance gets billed first, then CHAMPVA gets billed if needed.
