Medicare
In certain situations, listed below, this plan is primary and Medicare is secondary. If you are enrolled in Medicare and this plan at the same time, this plan pays benefits for covered expenses first and Medicare pays second. This applies if:
-
You are an active, covered employee age 65 or older and, by law, Medicare is secondary to this plan
-
You incur covered expenses for a kidney transplant or kidney dialysis and, by law, Medicare is secondary to this plan
-
You are entitled to benefits under the Social Security Act (Medicare disability) and, by law, Medicare is secondary to this plan.
In all other cases, this plan will not pay benefits for any part of a covered expense that is paid, or would have been paid, under Medicare Part A or B had you applied for those benefits.
