Is my doctor required to submit claims (bills) to Medicare if Medicare is my secondary insurance?

Yes, Medicare providers must submit claims (bills) to Medicare for you, whether Medicare is your primary or secondary insurer. For Medicare to process a claim as a secondary payer, the provider must give your primary insurance information to Medicare.
