Answer> Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO m m m m m
Answer>
Medicare Part B is not primary when the patient is part of a group sponsored health
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
plan. United Health Care HMO is not in effect as the scenario indicates that the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
patient "had" the plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO is primary to Medicare when th
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
e patient is part of a group sponsored health insurance plan and would be the corr
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
ect response. Medicare Part A would not be correct because it is not mentioned in t

ance and the secondary insurance?

m m m m m m m m m

The patient was injured at work so Worker's Compensation is the primary insurance
m m m m m m m m m m m m
carrier. Once the claim is processed through Worker's Compensation, it would follow
m m m m m m m m m m m
the standard of the patient's health insurance claim process. Since the patient is w
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
orking and covered under the employers' policy, the claim should be filed with BCB
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
S as the next step of submission and the claim would be filed with Medicare last.
