As veterans transition from military to civilian life, there's a role for society to play. There's also a role for Humana as we partner with these veteran focused organizers to ensure that our veterans have access to all the care that they need. The veterans’ benefits landscape can be incredibly complicated, especially for transitioning service members who may have never needed to access their earned benefits before.
What the VFW in our global network of advocates does is we provide representation throughout the process, help explain to veterans what they need to know about their earned benefits, what they may qualify for, and then walk them through that process. It's a lot like going into a big city without a roadmap and going into the claims system. So our service officers are that roadmap.
We're doing what we can in partnership with Humana to make sure that, hey, let's get the message out there that there are avenues for you to turn to. There are places for you to be able to talk to people and get assistance. When a veteran comes to one of our service officers, they're usually there because of a chronic health condition or some other unmet need.
And so when our advocates are meeting with veterans, it's critical that they can identify things like food insecurity, access to health care issues, or even stable housing or potential family and relationship issues. These are all predictive factors for suicide, homelessness, other crises in their life. But when you partner with someone like Humana who understands the health care needs and concerns like they do to help push the message even further and broaden the reach that we have, it makes a significant impact on the community.
At Humana, we are committed to whole person health and what that means, in particular for our veterans, is to ensure that they are not only getting the medical care that they need, but that we're really focused also on their behavioral health needs. We're very concerned about the risk that veterans have for suicide. And so we're focused on good mental health or behavioral health needs, clinical health needs, as well as addressing the social determinants of health that contribute to overall well-being.
We do suicide prevention online training, where you can actually go through this program and learn how to talk to someone about suicide. When I am doing events out in the community and saying, hey, I am focusing on veteran's suicide and Humana jumps on board, that just gives me that boost of confidence that I can continue to create other programs.
That's going to help veterans. Veterans have done so much to serve our country that they deserve to have the best health possible. And so Humana is committed to helping them achieve their best health through not only ensuring they get the right clinical medical care, but ensuring that we can try to help them remove these social health barriers one at a time.
Beyond what Humana has brought to the table for helping to train our service officers, Humana and its Veterans Network specifically bring resources to our communities to better reach veterans and better address those social determinants of health. What our service officers provide is just one facet of that. We can help steer a veteran toward economic stability, stable housing, even access to health care through VA.
But there are other things that we can't address, and that's really where Humana has stepped up to the plate to make sure that there are reliable resources for veterans. Our veterans have given so much to our country. Through these partnerships, we hope to give back by ensuring that our veterans have access to all the services that they deserve.

Humana Medicare Advantage FAQ
Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan is optional, however the VA encourages you to sign up for Medicare as soon as you can if you think you'll need health care outside of their system.
If you live far from a VA facility, you may want health care options closer to home. You may also want more options for urgent care or additional benefits like dental or vision coverage.
Using a Medicare Advantage plan with TRICARE or ChampVA may result in a more complex experience. Medicare Advantage plans are a better fit for veterans who need more health care options beyond their current VA health benefits.
If you're not sure about your situation, we recommend you speak with a licensed insurance agent.
You can enroll in a Humana USAA Honor Giveback plan during:
- Your open enrollment period when you first become eligible.
- The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period that occurs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 every year.
You can also enroll when you have a qualifying life event like losing coverage or moving to a new state.
The VA recommends that you give them your plan information. You can learn more about having VA health care with other insurance on their website.
A Medicare Advantage plan won't affect your VA health care benefits or how you use them.
