Q&A with Angelena Braxton
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: A medicare agent can introduce clarity to a complicated system; guiding you through plan comparisons customized to meet your healthcare needs and budget. There is also a possibility that a Medicare agent may be able to save you time and money and anxiety. Best part, it's free and you gain access to a professional to help navigate your benefits - throughout the plan year!
Can you explain how Medicare works with other types of insurance like Veterans Affairs benefits or employer plans?
Answer: When someone has Medicare and another type of insurance, plans do not actually work together. Instead, insurance providers coordinate benefits, by establishing which provider will pay first, and which will pay second. I've created a summary of how Medicare coordinates benefits, based on factors stated in the examples below. Please note some exceptions may apply. It is best to consult a licensed insurance professional for more detailed insight.
1. Medicare & VA Coverage
A. Healthcare received at a VA facility:
- The VA pays
- Medicare does not cover services received at VA hospitals or clinics
B. Care received at a non‑VA facility:
- Medicare pays for Medicare‑covered services
- The VA may pay for non‑VA care if it has been pre‑authorized through a VA program
2. Medicare & TRICARE For Life (for Military Retirees)
- Medicare pays first
- TRICARE pays second, often covering remaining costs
3. Medicare & Employer Health Insurance (20+ employees)
- Employer plan pays first
- Medicare pays second
4. Medicare & Small Employer Health Insurance (fewer than 20 employees)
- Medicare pays first
- Employer plan pays second
5. Medicare & Retiree Coverage
- Medicare pays first
- Retiree insurance pays second
