I also am a Vietnam veteran and am, presently, assigned a priority 6 in the VA benefit program. I have received medicine from the VA for gout and prostate problems, and, also, for consulting with the VA doctor. There is a small but manageable copay for these services. I have been told there is no relationship or communication between the veterans services and healthcare elsewhere which means that for services not covered by the VA or Medicare a supplemental private policy must be purchased.

If he get's Part A&B, can he use VA for supplemental? Or does he keep VA entirely. What if he get's medicare, can he use VA for checks ups etc.? Thank you It’s time for my husband to sign up for Medicare.
