Turning 65? Your VA health care doesn't stop — and it can work alongside Medicare and TRICARE For Life (TFL) to give you more complete coverage. There's no enrollment fee for VA care, and VA never bills Medicare or TFL for the care you get here.
Keep in mind: your Medicare enrollment window is only 7 months — three before your birthday month, three after. Missing it can mean a lifelong Part B penalty. Confirm your VA health care benefits today by logging into your VA.gov account or calling 1-877-222-8387.
