It’s also important to learn if you or your family member will have any other coverage like an employer group retirement plan, VA (Veterans Administration) or Tricare for life. Sometimes you do not want to leave an employer group plan because once you leave you may not be able to get it back. Sometimes people will stay with VA for drug coverage but need additional help for healthcare services through a Medicare Advantage plan. Talk with those organizations to make sure that none of the changes you may be making such as enrolling in a drug plan or Medicare Advantage plan will for some reason terminate coverage in that existing group plan.
