In New York, the insurance that you have held the longest is considered primary. This may vary from state to state, however, I believe it is the general rule.
Their insurance would be primary and your insurance would be considered secondary when filing a claim.
Often, a person will have "primary" insurance and "secondary" insurance. For example, if you have insurance through your job, and your husband has insurance through his job, then your primary insurance will be the one through your job, and your secondary insurance will be the one through your husband's job. Also, your husband's insurance through his job will be his primary, and yours through your job will be his secondary. There can be some exceptions to this though. For example, if you were married, had a child, then divorced and remarried (retaining custody of the child), and both your ex and current husbands have insurance through work, then the one who's birthday is first is considered the "primary" insurance, and the other is the "secondary" insurance. But there will still be a deductible with each one that has to be met before either one will pay.
No, a child cannot have two primary insurance policies. Typically, one policy will be considered primary, and the other will be secondary. The primary insurance is responsible for covering expenses first, while the secondary insurance may cover additional costs not paid by the primary policy, subject to coordination of benefits rules. It's important to check with both insurance companies to determine which is primary based on factors like the child's age and the parent's policy details.

The secondary insurance cover both pays and co-pays of the primary insurance depending with the insurance company.
It means that whoever states their insurance is Primary, it's really Primary regardless of who is at fault. For example, the subcontractors insurance is usually primary over the GCs insurance. This means that if the sub has a claim and in all reality it's the GC's fault, but the sub listed their insurance as primary, then the subs insurance is paying first no matter what. Primary means just that, the insurance listed is PRIMARY, regardless of fault. www.mac2insure.com
