Abstract
Older people in the United States who use the medical services of the Veterans Health Administration are frequently also entitled to health care through Medicare. Although most do not use both these federally funded systems at the same time, substantial use of both the Veterans Health Administration and Medicare fee-for-service care has been documented.1-5 Less is known about the use of Veterans Health Administration services by enrollees in Medicare health maintenance organizations (HMOs). We studied the dual use of these two federal programs with respect to inpatient and outpatient services.
