If you are not in the VA health system but now on Medicare, this is applicable to you.
You can get vaccines and screenings for a number of illnesses and see your doctor each year for a wellness visit. You also can get counseling to help you kick smoking or manage your diabetes.
You won’t be subject to any out-of-pocket charges for these services as long as you use a health care provider who participates in Medicare, or if you get your health care through a Medicare Advantage plan, an in-network medical professional.

I only use Medicare and Tricare for Life and not the VA … just had open heart surgery at Johns Hopkins without a penny out of pocket.

I have both Medicare advantage, & VA. Both times I go to the Methodist ER for treatment, its the VA who steps up, & they will not allow Medicare to pay any portion off my bill.

Same here, I use Medicare and Tricare for Life for Myself and My wife. There are a few minor, routine things I've been to the VA for but not often. My overall health is still pretty good, I'm so mean even the germs don't mess with Me !

Same coverage. I've had contact with the VA, a few telehealth meetings and one prescription from them, but nothing from the VA in the past year. I use Medicare A and B, TRICARE for Life, and I pay out of pocket via USAA for Dental and Vision coverage.
