Your VA benefits are great and cover your care at VA facilities, however, it is sometimes difficult to be seen right away when they are busy. While they can refer you outside of the VA system for care, it still requires time and often a referral to make sure VA covers you for those services. With a Medicare Advantage plan complementing your VA benefits you can access doctors and hospitals outside the VA system at any time you need without worrying about a referral for little to no cost for care depending on the services needed. These plans also include additional benefits such as vision, dental and hearing which many veterans do not qualify for. They also provide a quarterly credit allowance for you to purchase many over the counter care products.
