I am a veteran of the US military, I go to the VA Clinic for my doctor visits/prescriptions. I know while I was serving, my daughter was covered by my health insurance, is she still covered now that I am out of the military?
Where would I look/who could I call to find this information?

Sorry, she's not covered when you're not active military. You can verify that by calling your benefits coordinator - if you have a card, it would be on the back of your card.

For the mum esp at that age that's appropriate if she would be in a position to get her very own and not tied to the daughters corporation, important reason is that if daughter leaves and joins yet another organization, the mum won't have the skill to connect the organization scheme with the aid of e.g. age (some agencies imposed a max get right of entry to age) and wellness (does not disguise pre-latest ailment). besides team insurers do no longer in many circumstances enable disguise for human beings, in easy terms kinfolk. whether they do the advantages won't be as reliable while in comparison with the revised shelter plans. The daughter nevertheless will pay for mom's clinical wellness coverage using her medisave in the event that they choose the 'shelter' plans out on the marketplace. for particular, get clinical wellness coverage for the mum asap. An coincidence fall ought to deliver approximately a clinical institution bill of $30,000 even at SGH - this occurred to a minimum of certainly one of my colleagues. in the event that they want help determining on a reliable plan for mom merely touch me. i'm an self sufficient.

She is most probably not covered, now that you are no longer active military. Health benefits for family members are limited under TRICARE, and are available only under CHAMPVA if the military member (you) were killed or permanently disabled as a result of your military service.

No. Military healthcare is extended only to family members of active or retired servicemembers, not to former servicemembers. VA services are only for qualifying veterans.
