Did You Know Veterans Can Get a REFUND on Their Medicare Part B Premiums?
If you’re a veteran with TRICARE for Life and Medicare, you could be missing out on valuable Medicare Part B REFUNDS. Many veterans are unaware that they qualify for monthly premium reductions, putting money back in their pockets every month.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
- How TRICARE for Life and Medicare work together
- How Medicare Part C plans can provide a Part B REFUND
- Why most veterans are never told about this benefit
- How to determine if you qualify
- The process to start getting your Medicare Part B REFUND
Understanding TRICARE for Life & Medicare
TRICARE for Life (TFL) is the premium-free health coverage for military retirees aged 65 and over. It acts as secondary insurance to Medicare, covering costs that Medicare does not pay. However, to keep TRICARE for Life, you must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B.
Most veterans assume that paying the Medicare Part B premium—currently $185 per month in 2025—is just another unavoidable expense. However, certain Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are designed specifically for veterans and can refund some or all of your Medicare Part B premium.
How Medicare Part C Provides a REFUND on Part B Premiums
Medicare Part C plans, also known as Medicare Advantage plans, are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans receive funding from the government to provide coverage, and some use a portion of that funding to reduce or completely refund your Medicare Part B premium.
These plans include:
- $0 premium plans designed specifically for veterans
- Part B premium reductions ranging from $20 to $185 per month
- Extra benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, and gym memberships
- Nationwide PPO networks that do not interfere with your TRICARE for Life benefits
Why Veterans Are Not Told About These REFUNDS
Many veterans are never informed about their eligibility for these premium refunds. Here’s why:
- Social Security Representatives Are Not Trained in Medicare Plans – They won’t tell you about Part C refund options because they are not licensed Medicare advisors.
- VA Health Care is Separate from TRICARE for Life – Many veterans mistakenly believe VA health care is enough, but the VA itself recommends enrolling in Medicare.
- Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) Don’t Specialize in Medicare – They can help with VA benefits but are not Medicare experts.
- Most Insurance Agents Don’t Understand Veteran Benefits – They may not ask the right questions or understand how TRICARE for Life interacts with Medicare.
Real Veteran Success Stories
Many veterans are already receiving their Medicare Part B REFUND every month. Here are a few examples:
- Michael, a Vietnam Veteran, was paying $259 per month for Medicare due to an income-related surcharge (IRMAA). After working with us, he found a plan that reduced his premium significantly while also adding dental and vision benefits.
- A retired Navy veteran and his wife were able to get back $175 per month EACH, totaling $4,200 in annual savings. This refund helped them afford a long-overdue trip to visit their grandkids.
- Chris’s father, an 81-year-old Vietnam veteran, receives a $150 monthly refund, putting an extra $1,800 in his pocket annually.

- The insurance provider offering the plan

Does Enrolling in Medicare Part C Affect TRICARE for Life?
No! This is one of the biggest misconceptions veterans have. Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan that offers a Part B refund does not affect your TRICARE for Life benefits.
- TRICARE for Life will continue to cover what it always has
- You will not lose access to military treatment facilities or VA care
- The refund applies to your Medicare Part B premium only and does not change your coverage
