Full text of South Dakota South Dakota Codified Laws § 58-18A-69 — Plan covering person other than as dependent., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 58-18A-69. Plan covering person other than as dependent.
The plan that covers the person other than as a dependent, for example as an employee, member, subscriber, policyholder, or retiree, is the primary plan and the plan that covers the person as a dependent is the secondary plan.
However, if the person is a medicare beneficiary, and, as a result of the provisions of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and implementing regulations, medicare is:
(1) Secondary to the plan covering the person as a dependent; and
(2) Primary to the plan covering the person as other than a dependent (e.g. a retired employee);
then the order of benefits is reversed so that the plan covering the person as an employee, member, subscriber, policyholder, or retiree is the secondary plan and the other plan covering the person as a dependent is the primary plan.
