I also have a civilian plan with Humana that administers my Medicare benefits that I prefer since I can see doctors much more quickly than with the VA hospital.

You can do that? Can you use part "D" for a VA prescription? That would be so much cheaper.

I can't do that. I have to pay a flat $8.00 for all prescriptions from VA pharmacy prescribed by VA physicians only. Some vets (I think combat experienced and/or wounded which I'm not)are eligible for free prescriptions through the VA system apart from part "D.":
