Retiree Medical, Prescription Drug and Mental Health and Substance Abuse Programs - RR Donnelley   
Coordinating Benefits With Other Programs
General Information
The Program has a coordination of benefits (COB) provision, which coordinates benefit payments from your coverage and your spouse’s coverage. For example, if your spouse also has coverage through his or her employment, the COB provision coordinates payments from the Retiree Group Health Program and your spouse’s plan. This provision is intended to prevent duplicate payments for the same covered expense.
Coordination of benefits takes into account benefits available for the same expenses under another employer plan, a government program such as Medicare, or benefits required by law, such as no-fault automobile insurance benefits. It does not apply to Medicaid or individual medical policies.
COB issues will be coordinated by the claims administrator.
