Medicare Coordination Review

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services · Federal

Your current status: Worth Exploring

Why BRIDGE identified this

Your household includes members within ten years of Medicare eligibility and coordination questions with VA care.

What it is

Federal health coverage for people 65 and older and for certain people under 65 receiving Social Security Disability Insurance.

Who it may be for

Household members approaching age 65 or on SSDI

What it may provide

  • Hospital coverage under Part A
  • Medical coverage under Part B
  • Drug coverage under Part D or a Medicare Advantage plan

Important limitations

  • Late enrollment penalties can apply permanently
  • VA Health Care does not substitute for Part B in most coordination scenarios
  • Enrollment windows are strict

How it works with other benefits

Reviewed alongside VA Health Care and TRICARE so household members do not create a coverage gap at 65.
