## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - CHIP provides health coverage for children in families with incomes too high for Medicaid but too low to afford private insurance. - TRICARE For Life is a secondary, wraparound coverage for military retirees enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B, with Medicare always acting as the primary payer. - VA healthcare is a separate system for eligible veterans and generally does not coordinate with private insurance for care received outside the VA system. - Government programs like Medicaid and CHIP are typically the 'payer of last resort' when a private insurance plan also exists. - A common exam trap is understanding the specific hierarchy of payers: private plans pay before CHIP, and Medicare pays before TRICARE For Life.
