Getting started as a member SECTION 7 Hw ther insurance wrks with ur plan Sectin 7.1 Which plan pays first when yu have ther insurance? When yu have ther insurance (like emplyer grup health cverage), there are rules set by Medicare that decide whether ur plan r yur ther insurance pays first. The insurance that pays first is called the primary payer and pays up t the limits f its cverage. The ne that pays secnd, called the secndary payer, nly pays if there are csts left uncvered by the primary cverage. The secndary payer may nt pay all f the uncvered csts. These rules apply fr emplyer r unin grup health plan cverage: If yu have retiree cverage, Medicare pays first. If yur grup health plan cverage is based n yur r a family member s current emplyment, wh pays first depends n yur age, the number f peple emplyed by yur emplyer, and whether yu have Medicare based n age, disability, r End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): If yu re under 65 and disabled and yu r yur family member are still wrking, yur grup health plan pays first if the emplyer has 100 r mre emplyees r at least ne emplyer in a multiple emplyer plan that has mre than 100 emplyees. If yu re ver 65 and yu r yur spuse are still wrking, yur grup health plan pays first if the emplyer has 20 r mre emplyees r at least ne emplyer in a multiple emplyer plan that has mre than 20 emplyees. If yu have Medicare because f ESRD, yur grup health plan will pay first fr the first 30 mnths after yu becme eligible fr Medicare. These types f cverage usually pay first fr services related t each type: N-fault insurance (including autmbile insurance) Liability (including autmbile insurance) Black lung benefits Wrkers cmpensatin Medicaid and TRICARE never pay first fr Medicare-cvered services.
