Can I Use TRICARE and VA Healthcare?
Maybe. Military retirees can use both healthcare systems. We recommend military retirees enroll in both systems, and then use the programs in the way that works best for them. For example: A military retiree could use TRICARE for their dental care and the VA for their prescriptions. Active duty military who have veteran status (meaning they have already completed a period of qualifying active duty) can also use both systems.
