Get the services you need with extra benefits at no extra cost
Sentara Medicare Salute (HMO) works with your existing coverage from TRICARE for Life or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Receive the excellent care, service, and value you deserve. Best of all, enjoy the freedom to choose from our network of more than 42,000 providers and 92 healthcare facilities in Virginia.
You will not lose your current military retirement coverage if you join this plan.
When you enroll in Sentara Medicare Salute, your healthcare coverage is greatly expanded— and your cost for extra benefits is $0. If you were to visit a non-VA or TRICARE for Life provider in an emergency, and only had that coverage, you would likely pay the full out-of-pocket cost.
