If your parent has coverage provided by an employer plan, it is primary to Medicare. If they have Medicare Supplemental coverage, it is secondary to Medicare and the claims are automatically crossed over, for the most part.

Oh, that was the other nightmare. In Fl his primary was Humana, secondary was Medicare. When he came here that Humana plan is not offered regionally. What a nightmare changing him over to his employer's original plan. They didn't want to do it...they could not find any Medicare records because he was grandfathered in a Humana primary plan...they thought that he had had interrupted coverage with the employer's plan even though they had grandfathered him with Humana. Just getting him on the drug plan took at least 10 phone calls over a month. You know what? The only thing that worked half assed well was in fact Medicare. At least you know where you stand with them. Look, if you haven't lived this you really don't know what you are talking about. You think you do, but you don't.
