I am on Medicare but I have a plan through my former employer. I have a Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield card issued by Highmark. The former employer pays part of the premium & I pay the rest (deducted from my retirement check). Medicare also deducts monthly from my SS check.
I never have to deal with Medicare. I never show my Medicare card, only the BC/BS card. Highmark takes care of it all and I never get an EOB from Medicare, only from Highmark. Sure cuts down on my paperwork.
There are some weird plans out there.
I had one Dr. office that was determined to see my Medicare card & they filed on both. It took me 6 months to get that straightened out.
