What is the definition of primary coverage in regard to medical insurance?
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.
Which health insurance would be primary if you had coverage on January 1 through your husband's job then got insurance in May through your job?
The way it usually works is that the person with the birthday month (year doesn't matter) that comes first (My husband's is March, mine December) is the primary for everyone but you.My husband is the primary for himself and all the children. You will be primary for all your claims. Hope that helps.
When you have a primary and secondary insurance will the co-pay from your primary insurance be paid by the secondary insurance?
I have insurance paid for by my employer (primary) and through my husband's employer (secondary). In my experience, I have never had to pay the copay required by my primary because it is covered by my secondary. When I first got married, 2 years ago, I still paid the copay, but the doctor's office would always send me a check for the copay a month later because the secondary paid it.
Can the secondary insurance provider deny a claim that was not filed with the primary insurance provider first?
Let me tell you what happend to me. I hope that this helps. I used to be covered by two insurance companies. My primary insurance company was through the company that I worked with. My secondary was with the company that my husband works with. When a claim was filed with my secondary insurance company they wanted to know how much my primary insurance company paid for and until then they would not pay anything. So I had to submit to my primary insurance company and once they paid some then the secondary would. I hope that this helped:) * Yes. A claim must always be made with the primary insurer first.

My husband has dental insurance through his work and so do I but who is primary?
That depends on how the policies are written. Some policies state that when there are two dental insurances, the employee is primary and the dependent is secondary. Other policies state that the person whose birthday falls first in the year is primary. Your best option is to either discuss this issue with your Human Resources department at work or discuss it with the individual who handles insurance claims at your dentist's office. ***Birthday rule only applies to covered children of a married or cohabiting couple. If the parents live in separate households, custody rule or divorce decrees override the birthday rule. The policyholder will be the primary carrier if both policies are full-time employment policies. If one of the policies is retirement coverage, the retirement coverage would be secondary. In your case, your insurance is primary for you and your husband's insurance is primary for him.
