   When Medicare is secondary then your primary will pay first.  Medicare will then pay their share of the cost. Conversely, if Medicare is Primary the opposite is true, your Medicare will pay first and your secondary pays its share afterward.   In some situations this could result in 100% of you bill being paid after each pays its share. You will not, however, get more money than the total claim in either case.
