"Secondary Coverage" means that our insurance will only cover medical expenses that your own Primary Coverage does not. This includes items such as co-payment and deductible. If you have no Primary Coverage, you will need to provide an affidavit to the insurance company at the time of loss. If you have Primary Coverage you will need to provide a disposition of your claim with your primary insurance and supplemental insurance carriers upon filing a claim.
