“When I turned 65 and moved onto TRICARE For Life, I thought I had everything figured out. I didn’t,” Bob said in his latest Veterans Healthcare video. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there, and most of it comes from the fact that 98% of the people signing up for Medicare are civilians — not veterans.”
At Edmonds Strategic Group, we partner with organizations that help veterans get the clarity and benefits they’ve earned. Veterans Healthcare (VHC) continues to be one of those trusted partners.
As Bob explains in the video, many retirees on TRICARE For Life are told that Medicare Advantage plans don’t work for veterans, aren’t mobile, or will interfere with their TRICARE coverage. That simply isn’t true.
In reality, major carriers like Aetna, Humana, and United offer Medicare Advantage plans designed specifically for veterans, and these plans can add meaningful value — including:
- Additional vision and dental benefits
- Over-the-counter allowances at stores like CVS and Walgreens
- Gym memberships
- And even money back on Medicare premiums
The challenge is that veterans often hear civilian-centric Medicare advice, or they’re guided by well-meaning mentors who never saw the veteran-tailored options.
Bob had that experience himself.
Another veteran eventually pointed him to VHC — and that’s where the confusion finally cleared.
“VHC is an honest broker,” Bob said. “They look at your situation, help you understand your options, and if a Medicare Advantage plan isn’t right for you, they’ll tell you that.”
That’s exactly why EdG partners with VHC… and why Bob is a VHC customer.
VHC works exclusively with veteran-focused Medicare Advantage plans and takes a truly unbiased, one-on-one approach. Their team has a genuine passion for veterans — something Bob has seen firsthand.
At Edmonds Strategic Group, we support VHC with strategic consulting, messaging alignment, and outreach designed to help veterans cut through the noise and make informed decisions. From educational campaigns to video content like this latest piece, our work together ensures veterans get accurate, veteran-specific information when they need it most.
This is the kind of mission-driven partnership EdG is built for: trusted relationships, clear communication, and meaningful results for the veteran community.
