What if I get prescription drug coverage from other TRICARE, VA, or the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP)?
- As long as they still qualify, most people keep their TRICARE, VA, or FEHBP prescription drug coverage.
- Contact your benefits administrator or your insurer for information about your TRICARE, VA, or FEHBP
coverage before making any changes. It will almost always be to your advantage to keep your current
coverage without any changes. However, in some cases, adding Medicare prescription drug coverage
can provide you with extra coverage and, sometimes, lower copayments. - If you lose your TRICARE, VA, or FEHBP coverage and your Medicare drug coverage begins within 63 days, in
most cases, you won’t have to pay a penalty.
