I currently am covered under Medicare Part 1, 2 & 3 because I was told that the VA would not reimburse for ER visits and a lot of the things that a local hospital visit ER would entail.
I just read an article saying that they now have to pay for ALL non-VA emergency care. ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/veterans/court-rules-va-must-pay-veterans-emergency-room-care-decision-n1052131?fbclid=IwAR39i1ses23bqJuV3prHoeEi2Xi4Pa_xKmWkAnx2OmlVAw4DWiXnuFb0BrE ).
Do I still need to have Medicare insurance??? I don't want to pay an extra $135 per month I don't have to!
