Question: Who pays if I have the Original Medicare Plan and other insurance?
Answer:
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.
