How Your Bills Get Paid if You Have Other Health Insurance
Sometimes your other insurance pays your health care bills first, and your Medicare Advantage Plan pays second. Other insurance that may pay first includes
- employer or union group health plan coverage (when coverage is based on your or a family member's current employment),
- no-fault insurance (including automobile insurance),
- liability insurance (including automobile insurance),
- black lung benefits, and
- workers' compensation.

If you have other insurance, tell your doctor, hospital, and pharmacy so your bills get paid correctly. If you have questions about who pays first, or you need to update your other health insurance information, call the Coordination of Benefits Contractor at 1-800-999-1118. TTY users should call 1-800-318-8782. For more information about who pays first, visit www.medicare.gov on the web and view the booklet "Medicare and Other Health Benefits: Your Guide to Who Pays First," or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
