What Is Part B Premium Help?
According to the Medicare & You handbook (page 11), some Medicare options from private companies that contract with Medicare can help with Part B premiums. These benefits vary by county and plan availability.
My 82-year-old father, Wallace Duncan, a Vietnam-era veteran, gets money deposited into his Social Security check every month.
Our veteran clients average $110 monthly in premium help from these types of Medicare options.
These Medicare options work alongside your existing VA benefits and TRICARE for Life. Your military benefits remain completely unchanged.
How Part B Premium Help Works
The Process
Some Medicare options from private companies provide Part B premium help by applying funds toward your monthly Part B premium. Therefore, you receive lower costs or complete coverage of Part B expenses.
VA Benefits Protection
Part B premium help from Medicare options doesn't affect your VA healthcare. Additionally, you maintain all VA services while receiving premium help through Medicare options. Your VA benefits remain unchanged.
Why Veterans May Have Access to Enhanced Options
Insurance companies design special Medicare options for veterans. Specifically, these options may offer enhanced benefits because veterans typically use VA services for some healthcare needs.
Three Key Advantages for Veterans:
• Veterans using VA healthcare may qualify for enhanced Medicare options
• TRICARE for Life beneficiaries can maximize benefits effectively
