Common use of N on-Dependent or Dependent Clause in Contracts

N on-Dependent or Dependent. The plan that covers the person other than as a dependent (for example, as an employee, policyholder, Subscriber or retiree) is primary to the plan which covers the person as a dependent. i. However, if the person is also a Medicare beneficiary, and if the rule established under the Social Security Act of 1965, as amended, makes Medicare secondary to the plan covering the person as a dependent of an active employee, a plan covering a person as an employee or subscriber is primary; a plan of an active worker covering a person as a dependent is secondary; and Medicare is last.
