Q.- We have a COBRA participant who also has Medicare (he was enrolled in Medicare before his COBRA qualifying event). Does our plan pay primary benefits for him or does Medicare pay first?
A.- Medicare pays first. Medicare would pay second for an active employee, but this individual's coverage is not due to his active employment status. He has coverage because of a legal requirement (the COBRA law), not because of his employment.
