Medical Insurance question

[supportwife]

Hi All,

Currently My wife , mykids and I are on my wife's medical insurance plan through her company. However starting December, that will end as she is going to be switched to Medicare as she is on disability. I can switch her to my employer's insurance. However, my question is can she have both medicare and a private insurance through my employer.

What are the logistics behind this?

Thanks

In my state you can not have both.

You can have a private insurance as a secondary insurance only I think. It has to be set up as that. They would cover the 20% that Medicare doesn't.
