What is the difference between primary and secondary medical coverage? Why does it matter?
Primary coverage means that the insurer will pay first, regardless of what other insurance you may have. Secondary coverage provides reimbursement only after coverage from other insurance has been exhausted. If you do not already have existing insurance coverage, secondary coverage would become primary.
