Understanding Your Medicare Options

ON Social Security? Medicare enrollment is automatic when you turn 65.

Medicare options from private companies that contract with Medicare can provide additional benefits while working with your VA health benefits and TRICARE for Life. Your military benefits remain completely unchanged.
