    Yes, you can have both Medicare and VA (Veterans Administration) benefits. But in order to use VA benefits, you must get care at a VA facility. And Medicare does not cover services provided by a VA facility. So they are not altogether compatible. But VA benefits can be a good supplement for what Medicare does not cover, such as prescription drugs.

    Yes, you can have both Medicare and VA Benefits. One plan will be a secondary payer. Since the Veterans Administration benefits must be used at VA facilities, usually Medicare is secondary to the VA insurance. However, sometimes VA drug benefits are a good supplemental plan to Medicare, and thus becomes the secondary payer.
