Are primary and secondary insurance claims are filed simultaneously to ensure prompt payment to the medical practice?
In general this is true. However, the insurance policies usually have "coordination of benefits" provisions which explain which policy pays first and under what circumstances. There are sometimes also statutes (laws) that dictate the order of payment. A good example of this is when one is injured in an auto collision and has both personal injury protection and/or medical payments coverage and health insurance. The companies will coordinate the payment of benefits as between the policies.

Can you purchase your own separate medical insurance if you don't like the one-and-only option offered by your husband's employer and can you each use either one or both simultaneously?
You can purchase your own medical insurance, its called and Individual policy and many insurance carriers sell them. With an individual medical policy, you have to qualify. (you don't have any significant medical problems or past medical history) Individual medical policys also have pre-existing clauses-- they can deny any/all medical services for a medical condition they determine began before your policy began. Pre-existing clauses are usually for the first 6 months. Most, not all insurance plans "coordinate benefits".

It can be different for an individual policy/plan. Health insurance is very expensive in this country so most people can't afford to buy individual medical insurance.
If a child has primary and secondary medical insurance who settles the dispute when the primary decides the secondary should now be primary instead of secondary as they had been for several years now?
It's not at the discretion of the insurance company as to who is the primary or the secondary. It is the sole decision of the policy holder(you). They are a paid service and are there to serve you. Correction: No, it's not at the discretion of the policy holder. The primary coverage is based on who's birthday comes first. For example, in this particular case, the child lives with his mother and stepfather, and the stepfather and the biological father both have him on their medical insurance policies. The father's birthday is in October and the stepfather's birthday is in December. So the father's insurance is primary, and the stepfather's insurance is secondary. These are the quidelines insurance companies use to determine which one is primary, and which one is secondary.
