Health Care Benefits After Separating from the Military – Health Care Open Enrollment Season
November 1st is the beginning of the health care open enrollment season. This might not matter much if you are on active duty or are a retiree and have access to TRICARE. But Open Enrollment is a big deal if you don’t have access to health care through the military, or through your employer.
We have an in-depth article and podcast that discusses health care options after leaving the military. This includes those who are making the transition now (or will in the near future), those who are serving in the Guard or Reserves, retirees, and those who served, but didn’t retire. VA health care eligibility is also covered in this article.
There are many affordable health insurance options out there for those who have served. I hope this guide will help you find something that meets your needs!
Health insurance is a topic most military members don’t have to think much about while they are serving. Their health care needs are taken care of them and their families so they can concentrate on their duties. But things change quickly once you remove your uniform for the last time.
In this article and podcast we cover the various health care options for military veterans and their family members after they leave the military. The options available to you may vary depending on when and where you served, how long you served, your type of discharge (and whether or not it was involuntary or at the conclusion of your contract), whether you served on active duty or in the Guard or Reserves, and other factors. We also cover health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs, buying health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, and health care options for people with low income.
We have done our best to cover most scenarios, but it’s always possible there is something we missed. Please feel free to leave a question or comment here on the article and we’ll try to point you in the right direction.
