Why does the patient need to provide auto insurance information when involved in a motor vehicle accident?
Medical coverage on your auto insurance is an option you may include in your auto policy. The law requires that we must bill the automobile insurance company if medical coverage is in effect at the time of the accident. The law also requires that we bill the health insurance company only in cases where no automobile medical insurance is in effect at the time of the accident. We must file proof, in the form of a letter, with health insurance carriers that no automobile medical coverage exists before they will issue payments related to your automobile accident.
