Should Veterans Enroll in Medicare?

How much does Medicare cost? Do you have to pay for Medicare? How are Medicare premiums calculated? Who pays for Medicare Part A? Is Medicare Part B free? What will be my Medicare premiums in 2024 or the years to come?

The world of veteran’s benefits can be confusing, and it can be difficult to know how much coverage you really have. Supplementing your veteran’s healthcare coverage with a Medicare plan may be a good idea, especially because Veteran’s Administration (VA) healthcare coverage can vary drastically from person to person and over time.

Our office recommends you speaking to ADRC (Aging & Disability Resource Center) by calling for an appointment at (608) 355-3289. The ADRC has specialist available to talk to you Medicare, VA Healthcare and Tri-care/Tri-care for Life. It is best to plan ahead so you can make informed decisions as you retire and often have adjusted income.
