What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Coverage?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a more comprehensive form of no-fault coverage that goes beyond MedPay. While MedPay only covers medical expenses, PIP also covers lost wages, replacement services (like childcare or housekeeping you can't perform due to injury), and funeral expenses. Arizona is not a 'no-fault' state and doesn't require PIP coverage, but some insurers offer it. If you have PIP, it covers your medical treatment regardless of fault. The broader coverage makes PIP particularly valuable if an accident causes you to miss work. AZ Spine works with all types of auto insurance coverage.
