Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

People who have both Medicare & Medicaid

Medicare pays first when you're a dual eligible and you get Medicare-covered services. Medicaid pays last, after Medicare and any other health insurance you have.

Answer:

Medicare

Step-by-step explanation:

Medicare is always the primary payer when you have both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Medicaid will then act as a secondary payer. Medicaid coverage depends on your state, but most state plans will cover the majority of your out-of-pocket costs.

hope this helps :) !!!
