Can you explain how Medicare works with other types of insurance like Veterans Affairs benefits or employer plans?
Answered by 1 licensed agent
Veteran Affairs benefits and separate from Medicare. If a Senior is using the VA, Medicare is not responsible for any coverage. If the Senior also has a Medicare plan and sees a doctor outside of the VA they Medicare may pay.
In the case where a Senior has an employer plan and Medicare. Typically, the employer plan pays first and then it goes to Medicare as a secondary. But employee plans vary and coverage could work differently.
