Has COBRA, was 65+ at termination, getting Medicare (late), COBRA integration?

[Guest ned strain]

Employee (over 65 at retirement) elected COBRA upon retiring and, now, (while still covered under COBRA) elects Medicare. If the retiree has a claim, what is the integration order of the two coverages?

I believe this would actually be a reason that you could terminate the COBRA coverage early. Does your plan allow them to stay on COBRA under the circumstances?

When medicare does not cut off cobra, the cobra coverage is primary and medicare is secondary (See medicare regulation 411.162(a)(3)
