Question:

Does an 80%, 72 year old Vietnam vet with severe dementia need to keep medicare A &B He is in a VA facility Spouse needs to know if she should continue to pay for Medicare and BC/BS THANK YOU

Jim's Reply:

If the veteran is being cared for by VA and VA is not billing other insurance for that care, then there is no reason to continue paying the premiums. Do be sure to check with his VA care facility before canceling anything. If they say it's OK, go for it.
