And Medicare does not cover services provided by a VA facility. So they are not altogether compatible. But VA benefits can be a good supplement for what Medicare does not cover, such as prescription drugs.Answered on May 3, 2013flag this answer- 63333 POINTSview profilePeggy MaceMost of the U.S.Yes, you can have both Medicare and VA Benefits. One plan will be a secondary payer. Since the Veterans Administration benefits must be used at VA facilities, usually Medicare is secondary to the VA insurance. However, sometimes VA drug benefits are a good supplemental plan to Medicare, and thus becomes the secondary payer.Answered on October 29, 2013flag this answer
