Q. Who pays if I have the Original Medicare Plan and other insurance?

A. If you have other insurance or coverage, for instance, an employer or union plan, or Medigap policy, it may pay for costs that the Original Medicare Plan doesn’t cover. Your other insurance or coverage may also pay for some services before the Original Medicare Plan pays for the same service. If you have questions about who pays first, or how your other insurance or coverage pays for your outpatient services, call your insurance company or the benefits administrator.
