I have found that it is a rare occasion in Home Care billing that you will submit a secondary claim but there are times you will need to.  And yes, you should be able to submit a secondary claim to MA in this case..

So I have only been doing Homecare billing for a few months and its different from regular medical billing so I am wondering – do you send secondary claims?  A patient has BCBS primary and MN MA secondary and BCBS left a balance for patient to pay. My automatic thought is submit to MA and that is what her spouse wants us to do as she is deceased. Thanks!
