Medicare primary secondary question

[Guest guest]

Patient has a large group employer health plan. The ESRD

Medicare became primary at the end of the COB and ESRD Medicare ended three

years after his kidney transplant in 2006. At one time he had also had disability

Medicare and as such Medicare A has hung around (unbeknownst to the patient) as

part of the Ticket to Work program in Social Security. Would Medicare A be

secondary or continue to be primary once the ESRD entitlement ended?
