When you have a medicare replacement plan, you in a sense still have medicare, but the plan is being administered by the HMO/PFFS/PPO/Indemnity plan you are enrolled in.
They don't have 2 insurances, so when you come across a situation where they give you the AARP Medicare complete card (or whatever they are enrolled in) and their Medicare card as well...don't think about "when you file the medicare", the Medicare is NO LONGER a part of the billing scenario

Thank You Charlene, really appreciated.
so, what scenario will I have to bill medicare as primary, could you give me an example ( I read from the book if a patient came in with two insurance: one is medicare and the other is commercial I always have to bill medicare first )? medicare replacement plan is not supplement insurance? how do I differentiate if the insurance is medicare replacement?
