Participants in the program of medical benefits coverage provided by sections 103.003 to 103.175 who are eligible for Medicare benefits and who are not eligible for the program of medical benefits coverage provided under sections 103.083 to 103.098 to be their primary plan of coverage benefits shall be provided substantially similar benefits provided participants who are not eligible for Medicare benefits.
