How long does the secondary insurance carrier have to pay a bill once the explanation of benefits is received from the primary carrier?

Normally, the health care provider will collect primary and secondary insurance information from the patient at the time of treatment. The provider will bill both insurers, and the primary insurer will pay its share. Both insurers are subject to the "prompt pay law" of the State in question, and payment by the respective companies of their shares must be made within that period. Otherwise, there is at least a technical violation of the State's Insurance Code. The "prompt pay law" may provide that the late-paying insurer must pay interest on the late payment.

What do you do if you have 2 policies covering the same thing?

If you have two insurance policies covering the same risk, you should first review the terms of each policy to determine how they coordinate benefits. Generally, one policy will be considered the primary insurer, while the other acts as secondary coverage. Notify both insurers about the existence of the other policy, and file claims with the primary insurer first. In some cases, you may be able to recover the full amount of your loss, but in others, you might have to share the costs between the two policies.

Why do insurance companies need reinsurance?

Reinsurance is essentially insurance for an insurer. That is, it is insurance which the primary insurer (one that issues policies directly to the public) buys to ensure that it has sufficient funding to pay expected claims that may be incurred during the policy period. State insurance regulators require that primary insurers have and maintain sufficient levels of capital and reserves to pay expected claims. Depending upon the amount of capital and reserves, the insurer is permitted to issue a stated dollar amount of primary insurance. One of the ways that the primary insurer can meet the statutory requirements, other than by having all capital and reserves in cash or cash equivalents, is through a reinsurance structure that is approved by the financial authorities of the state insurance regulator.

Do you need to obtain prior authorization from your secondary insurance even if the primary insurance will be billed first?

Your secondary insurance has different PA criteria than your primary insurance. A PA means that your insurer will only cover a service under certain circumstances; company A may cover a service for 3 conditions and company B may only cover the same service for only 2 conditions. Your primary could pay and your secondary may not.
