You have Medicare as primary insurance and BCBS as secondary insurance Do you pay the copay on the secondary insurance?
The answer to this question depends on what kind of secondary insurance you have - is it a group health plan? Is it a supplement? If Medicare is primary, there are still deductibles, copays, coinsurance that would need to be satisfied by your secondary insurance.
