With Medicare, you are on your own plan individually. Your wife, when eligible, would be on her own plan and not added to your existing plan.

Whose insurance is primary when husband is retired not on medicare and wife is working?
It the wife has her husband on her work insurance plan than that
is his primary insurance. If he is not covered on her plan then he
would need to buy his own insurance. Once he gets on Medicare that
would become his primary insurance. If his wife is still working
once he gets on Medicare the primary carrier is determined by how
many people work for her company. If there are less than 100
employees then Medicare would be primary.

Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, under
age 65 with certain disabilities, and any age with End-Stage Renal
Disease (ESRD) (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a
kidney transplant). Keep in mind Medicare is individual coverage,
so your wife would need to qualify for Medicare by herself and
cannot be added to your Medicare.

If your wife switches from the insurance at her job to the insurance at your job will her pregnancy still be covered?
If any agent tells you that your wife's pre-existing pregnancy
is covered, get it in writing. Twenty-three years ago, I wound up
paying the whole bill for my first child's delivery when my wife's
employer changed insurance companies. The new company said they
were not required to pay for pre-existing conditions. To this day,
I think we got hosed, but that's water over the dam. Don't let it
happen to you.
