Secondary insurance is health insurance that pays after primary insurance on a claim for medical or hospital care. It usually pays for some or all of the costs left after the primary insurer has paid (e.g., deductibles, copayments, coinsurances). If your primary insurance denies coverage, or if you do not have primary insurance, your secondary insurance may make little or no payment for your health care costs. See also: Primary Insurance.
