Should I Use Health Insurance or Auto Insurance for Accident Injuries?
While health insurance can technically cover auto accident injuries, using auto insurance is usually more advantageous: (1) No deductibles or copays when using MedPay or the at-fault party's liability coverage, (2) Auto claims don't increase your health insurance premiums, (3) Auto insurance covers treatments health insurance may limit (like extended chiropractic care), (4) Using auto insurance supports your injury claim documentation. If you use health insurance, you may need to repay your health insurer from your settlement through 'subrogation.' AZ Spine bills auto insurance first, keeping your health insurance as secondary coverage if needed.
