Veteran Coverage

Veteran Coverage
TRICARE or CHAMPVA Coverage -
-
Your decision to enroll in Part A and B depends on whether you are eligible for premium-free Part A.
-
I am eligible for premium free Part A - You are required to enroll in Part A and Part B to keep your TRICARE or CHAMPVA coverage.
-
I am NOT eligible for premium-free Part A: Enrolling in Part A and Part B is optional. But, if you do not enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period, you will have to wait to sign up and you may have to pay a lifetime late enrollment penalty—and that penalty increases the longer you wait.
Veterans Affairs Coverage
-
If you only have Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage, you should enroll in Part A and Part B when you turn 65.
