- How does the insurance and drug discount plan work?
As part of your membership, we provide you $55,000 of insurance coverage under our Veterans Advantage group policy, plus travel assistance services and drug discounts. This coverage consists of $50,000 of medical evacuation insurance whenever you are more than 100 miles from home on business or leisure travel, $5,000 of AD&D insurance, AIG Assist toll-free emergency travel services worldwide, and a prescription drug discount plan accepted at 55,000 pharmacy locations nationwide. Veterans Advantage purchases these benefits under a group plan and we include them with every membership. You are eligible as long as you remain a member of Veterans Advantage and you have activated your benefits. There is no additional cost to activate. You cannot purchase these benefits independently of your membership or purchase more insurance coverage from Veterans Advantage. If you were to purchase this coverage in the general market, the estimated value of the premium for the insurance, travel assistance, and the prescription drug plan is $300 a year per member.
- What do you do with the information I submit to show eligibility for the program?
The only information printed on your card is your name and branch of service. All other information is kept confidential and used only to verify your service record and fulfill your card order.
- Can I use the program benefits right away?
Your online application is processed immediately and you will receive a confirmation with a printable card in your email box to use until your VA Members Card is received by you in the mail. The VA Card information will include your 10 digit Travel Discount Code, so you can make your discounted train, plane or bus reservations immediately! Please note that the prescription benefit is also available immediately. Login to Members Only and click on FREE Prescription Drug Plan under Health & Wellness to receive your electronic prescription drug card that can be used right away at your pharmacy.
