Private Insurance end of

[Carl the Engineer]

Question...

I lost my private insurance yesterday, because I am retiring in a month or so, and I needed to get a new plan for just the wife, a medicare advantage plan, which I have done already.

I will be on VA healthcare for the next two years until the wife and I go on Tri-Care for Life.

How do I tell the VA that I do not have private insurance anymore? 

I hesitate to do anything until my pending claim(s) come back, because, if I submit something saying I do not have private insurance anymore, they will make that a claim and muck the works up.

Or, should I just wait until I go to either the VA clinic or the VA hospital and tell them then?

I did tell the C&P examiner that I would be loosing my PI in the future and she thought that I would be able to keep my local cardiologist as that "my" VA hospital dose not have any cardiologists in house and I could possibly go local through choice.  But that is another matter for another day.

Thanks,

Hamslice

Dropping your insurance, or adding it, is not a claim. You can do it right from the kiosk when you sign into a medical appointment at your clinic.

Thanks,

I thought I remembered that when I used the kiosk at my last appointment.

Will give it a try, just didn't want to delay my pending claim,
