Any policy or contract subject to this Rule may limit or exclude benefits for substance abuse treatment services to the extent benefits would otherwise duplicate and be secondary to benefits provided by the United States Health Insurance for by the Aged Act, Title XVIII of the Social Security Amendments of 1965, Public Law 89-97 as amended (Medicare). To the extent Medicare may provide benefits for substance abuse less than the minimum required by this Rule, contracts and policies other than Medicare supplement policies subject to Title 24-A M.R.S.A., Chapter 67, must cover the difference between Medicare and minimum required benefits.
