If you have other forms of health care coverage (like a private insurance plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE), you can use VA health care benefits along with these plans. Learn more about how VA works with other health insurance.
Does VA require me to provide information on my health insurance coverage (including coverage under a spouse’s plan)?
Yes. This information is needed in order to bill your private health insurance provider for any care, supplies, or medicine the VA provides to treat your non-service-connected conditions (illnesses or injuries that aren’t related to your military service).
VA won’t bill Medicare or Medicaid, but may bill Medicare supplemental health insurance for covered services.
