How to Find Out If Medicare Is Primary
- 1). Determine what type of Medicare coverage you have. Types of Medicare coverage include original Medicare Part A hospital insurance, Part B medical insurance, Medigap and Advantage Plans. Medigap is always secondary to the primary Medicare coverage. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, skip to step 3.
- 2). Call 1-800-MEDICARE. Inquire about the status of your Medicare coverage and whether other primary insurance exists.
- 3). Contact the number on the back of your Medicare Advantage plan card. Inquire about whether your Advantage plan is your primary insurance coverage.
