Medicare/senior care



Most military retirees become eligible for Medicare health benefits when they turn 65. However, some qualify for Medicare much earlier because they have certain disabilities. In either case, Tricare will help pay the balance of medical bills after Medicare has paid its portion.

(See Tricare for Life)

Other health programs for which military retirees may be eligible include:

• Tricare Plus. This program allows retirees to enroll for primary care services at a military treatment facility if the local commander determines there is room. It does not guarantee specialty care, however.

• Uniformed Services Family Health Plan. Seniors are eligible for the USFHP at former Public Health Service hospitals, which are designated Tricare Prime providers.
