Medicare Advantage plans and veterans’ benefits

A Humana Medicare Advantage (MA) plan doesn’t replace your Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage—it complements it. MA plans can offer you more benefits, affordable costs and options for care closer to home—including plans with $0 premiums and Medicare Part B givebacks.

Service members pay taxes for Medicare just like civilians. Don't leave these hard-earned benefits on the table. You may be eligible for affordable or $0 premium MA plans that offer benefits the VA doesn't cover, like dental care.

How an MA plan may complement your VA benefits

With a Medicare Advantage plan, you can use healthcare providers and hospitals outside the VA system, which may be closer to home, especially in an emergency. And if you select a plan that includes coverage for Rx drugs, you can get your prescriptions from your local in-network pharmacy.

Shop with confidence

Humana is the national Medicare plan provider recommended by veterans service organizations (VSOs) like AMVETS (American Veterans), VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and DAV (Disabled American Veterans). We help provide Medicare-eligible veterans with coverage options whenever and wherever they need it.

Coverage that pays off

You may be able to get money back in your Social Security check by lowering your Medicare Part B premium cost with a plan that offers the Medicare Part B Giveback Benefit.

Get coverage beyond the basics

Our Medicare Advantages plans, like the Humana USAA Honor plans, can provide you with options beyond VA healthcare, including routine dental coverage with no-cost semi-annual cleanings and checkups with X-rays.

Military-Friendly Employer

Humana has earned many awards as a top military-friendly employer throughout the years. In 2023, we were recognized as a Top Company for Veterans by Diversity Inc., Military Friendly Top Ten Gold by Viqtory Media, and Military Friendly Spouse Employer by Viqtory Media.1
