Active military members do not pay into Medicare while they are on active duty, as they are generally covered by the military's health care system, such as TRICARE. However, once they retire or separate from the military, they may become eligible for Medicare and need to pay into the program if they choose to enroll. Additionally, certain military members and their families may have options that coordinate with Medicare coverage.

What health care plan do active duty military members have?

For the most part active duty service members have military medical care in military facilities. Under certain circumstances the military pays civilian medical facilities to provide care to active duty service members. The families of active duty military personnel have a health care plan called TRICARE Prime which is similar to an HMO. Active duty service members and their dependents do not pay premiums for health care or prescription medications. Retired service members and their dependents also have military medical care and TRICARE available to them, but must pay premiums for TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Standard, which is a cost sharing plan, is also available to retired service members and their dependents. Once service members and their spouses turn 65 years of age and are covered by Medicare, TRICARE for Life acts as supplemental insurance for Medicare. Premiums for Medicare, Part B now vary by income.
