medicare and insurance

New member
My fiance(who has CF) and I are planning on getting married and we have began to research our insurance options. She has medicare primary and private insurance secondary from her dad who is retired. She has it pretty good now, but when we get married my insurance becomes primary and medicare secondary. I've talk to both my insurance and medicare on how this would work and be billed, but I get conflicting answers from both. My insurance pays 80% up to a max of $2000, and I'm trying to figure out if medicare pays any of the 20% left over? I have even talk to a lawyer, and she's not even sure. I want to know for sure how much we'll have to pay before we get married, so we're not swamped by outrages bills! We also just found out that her CF hospital in Minnesota just got dropped from in-network from my insurance. So my question is has anyone else dealt with this issue and what was the result? Thx in advance and we are open to any suggestions!

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cahealthadvocates.org/insurance/works.html">Link</a><div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>...the employer's plan will usually be your primary coverage and pay first, and Medicare will be your secondary coverage. When Medicare pays second, it uses a formula that finds the lowest possible amount due. Medicare may pay some of the coinsurance from the employer's plan. You will need written documentation from the plan of any expenses you are responsible for paying, and then you or the provider will need to bill the Medicare Secondary Payer program for those amounts. </end quote></div>

Generally speaking, when a person is covered under two separate insurance plans, if the primary insurance is the better coverage, the secondary insurance is off the hook completely. But if the secondary insurance is the better coverage, then it will pay the difference between what the primary insurance paid and what the secondary insurance would have paid if it were primary.

As an example:
If the primary insurance covers 80% and the secondary insurance covers 70%, then the secondary insurance pays nothing. If the primary insurance covers 80% and the secondary insurance covers 90%, the secondary insurance will pay that 10% difference between the two plans.

I have my husband's ins as primary & Medicare part A&B as secondary. Medicare has been good about picking up my co-pays on doctor's visits, X-rays, etc.
Part B used to pick up all co-pays on nebulized meds (i.e. Xopenex, Pulmicort, etc). Due to recent Medicare changes, they don't want to pay any of the copays on nebulized meds anymore.
Medicare also pays the remainder for diabetic supplies (lancets, test strips, etc).
I heard that Medicare cut back in April and then again July 1st so I guess I'll be finding out soon how this will effect me further...

Congratulations on your up-coming wedding & I hope you are able to get the insurance portion all worked out!
