If you retire at age 64 how mch can you earn while working and still collect Social Security and do you have to pay your own Medicare payment?
You pay for Medicare through your social security. They take a deduction out of your payment. Your full retirement age depends on when you were born. For example if you were born in 1955 you can get benefits at 62, but you would only receive 741.00 out of 1,000 you would be eligible for if you had waited until 67. This equals a 25% reduction in lifetime benefits. You also have to consider if you ave a pension. 401K, mortgage, savings impact when you should retire. The social security website has a retirement planning page I suggest you visit.

I understand when Medicare is primary and when Medicare is secondary. What is the difference in coverage between a Medicare Supplement and Medicare as a secondary insurer?
If you have a Medicare Supplement then the provider will bill Original Medicare first. At that time Medicare will pay the allowable amount and then return an explanation of benefits stating the beneficiary's portion. Based on the Medicare Supplement Plan that is in place (A-N) the Medicare Supplement will pay a portion or all of the remaining amount due. If they pay only a portion based on the plan (A-N), then according the plan guidelines, the beneficiary would pay any outstanding amount at that time. If a Medicare beneficiary is covered on a employer or retiree group plan and due to the size of the plan, the group plan is primary, then the group plan benefits will apply first and any amounts due by the Beneficiary will be billed to Medicare second. If it is a Medicare covered service, then Medicare will pay the remaining amount due as the secondary payor up to the amount allowed by Medicare. If the service is not allowed by Medicare, than the beneficiary's co-insurance or co-payment under the group plan would be their responsibility.
