Other Types of Insurance or Coverage

Natalie identifies the additional types of insurance or coverage a Medicare beneficiary may have:

• A Group Health Plan (GHP)
• Liability insurance
• Workers' Compensation
• Federal Black Lung Program coverage
• No-fault insurance
• A GHP through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985
• Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage
• TRICARE for Life (TFL) coverage
• Medicaid benefits
• Indian Health Service (IHS) coverage

An informal survey of the seminar attendees indicates that many of them have other insurance or coverage in addition to Medicare.

Natalie suggests that they take a closer look at the other types of insurance or coverage. She encourages the attendees to offer information regarding the insurance or coverage they have.
