We will pay for certain health care services received in foreign countries but you will need to sign up for the Foreign Medical Program
I also want to know, if I have private health insurance, should I cancel my Medicare or continue using it?
This is your decision. You can save money if you drop your private health insurance, but there are risks.
Do you have any experience with VA health care? Do you have urgent care centers in the United States, or do you just have hospitals?
You can use clinics that are part of our community provider network, but you will need to be enrolled in VA health care and have received care from us within the past 24 months.
If I need medical care while traveling is it the same as that foreign program you named?
