Thank you for watching! If a patient has 2 insurances then you bill both. Which ones is primary and secondary is determined by different factors. For example, most adults with 2 commercial insurances, the insurance they get from their employer is primary and secondary would be their spouse’s coverage. For children, the primary insurance would be whichever insurance the parent whose birthday comes first in the year. Medicaid is always second if there are two insurances. There are many “rules” when it comes to multiple insurance billing.
