Block 8 asks for the Medigap enrollee's information under what condition?

• A. Always list the Medigap enrollee's birth date
• B. If the Medigap enrollee is a different person from Block 2, provide last name, first name, and middle initial; otherwise write SAME; leave blank if no Medigap benefits
• C. Do not fill Block 8
• D. Always list the Medigap enrollee's address

Answer: (B)

Block 8 is used to identify the Medigap policyholder when that person is not the patient listed in Block 2. If the Medigap enrollee is a different person from Block 2, you must provide that person’s last name, first name, and middle initial so the secondary coverage can be matched to the correct individual. If the Medigap enrollee is the same person as the patient, you write SAME to show they are the same person. If there are no Medigap benefits, you leave Block 8 blank. This rule helps ensure proper coordination of benefits and accurate billing between the primary Medicare coverage and the Medigap policy.
