Coordination of Benefits

The rules that decide which plan pays first when a person is covered by more than one health plan.

Can I be covered by two health plans at once, and how does it work?

June 30, 2026June 28, 2026 by HealthInsuranceFAQs

Yes. You can have two plans (for example, your own and a spouse’s). Coordination of benefits rules decide which pays first; the primary plan pays as usual, and the secondary may cover some of what’s left. It does not mean double payment.
