Tricare pays civilian providers for medical care for military, retired military and their dependents who do not live near a military/VA provider. It is administered by the Department of Defense.

Medicaid pays for medical care for indigent persons who meet certain other requirements. SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) pays for medical care for children whose family income is too high to qualify for Medicaid but less than 200% of Federal poverty level. (Other eligibility requirements also apply.) These programs are administered by the States.

Medicare pays for medical care for persons over 65 and certain persons under 65 who are receiving Social Security disability benefits. It is administered by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

No, hearing aids are not covered by Medicare or Tricameral for Life. Typically, Medicaid or commercial insurance policies will pay the cost of hearing aids. An insurance program called Medicare/Tricare for Life covers medical services and supplies. Hearing aid coverage is not included. Hearing aids are often seen as a sort of durable medical equipment that is not perpetually covered by Medicare or Tricare. Hearing aids may be covered by private insurance policies. Depending on the plan, these insurance policies can pay all or part of the cost of a hearing aid. Additionally, Medicaid programs in certain areas provide coverage for hearing aids. Depending on the person's financial circumstances, Medicaid can pay all or some of the hearing aid's price. In conclusion, hearing aids are not covered by Medicare or Tricameral for Life. A commercial insurance plan or Medicaid may provide coverage for hearing aids for people.

Do I have to get Medicare Part B if I have Tricare from the Military?

If you have TRICARE and are eligible for Medicare, you are not required to enroll in Medicare Part B; however, it is often beneficial to do so. TRICARE typically serves as secondary coverage to Medicare, meaning that having both can help cover additional costs. If you choose to delay Part B and later decide to enroll, you may face a late enrollment penalty. It's advisable to review your specific situation and consult with a benefits advisor to understand the best options for your healthcare needs.
