My ins company paid my medical bills through my med pay. The accident was NOT my fault. The other ins company told me that they would reimburse me the $5000 med pay that my company covered. They are telling me now that they do not pay the med pay back to me. Whats up with this?

Many states do not allow subrogation for medpay (mine doesn't-MO)...Now that being said, some states will still require the 'at fault' carrier pay the injured party for the med bills on top of what has already been paid under their med pay coverage (double dipping)...some states do not allow this...I'm guessing that is the case with yours..double dipping is not allowed and medpay is not subrogatible....Or another possiblity is that medpay IS subrogatible and they will be paying your carrier back rather than you...You after all are not out this money (correct?)...They will still owe you an injury settlement...

Lori, What if a person had lots of co-pays on their medical and treatment? Wouldn't the injured party be due to be reimbursed?

You are not supposed to gain from insurance, insurance is only supposed to put you back to the same exact situation you were in right before the claim.

Yes, Jon that is correct however many states allow double dipping of med pay...(mine included)..it is the opinion that not being a required coverage (med pay in MO anyway)...if the insured pays the premium for this coverage they are entitled to collect it regardless of being paid under the BI portion of the at fault party's policy.

sorry your right I was thinking of something else. oops. I am licensend in VA and i know here in our state Med pay is stackable on vehicles. so if you have 10000 on your policy and you have 3 cars, you have 30000 per person, with no extra charge. kdl59_2000, lori is right. in most states you are allowed to double dip. sorry for my lack of paying attention Smile

you are so right. personally I think all states should follow NC rules and regs. Even though it can be a pain, in that state it either it is or it isn't. which makes life simple. Smile

Hi george, I understand its frustrating, but med-pay is a 'reimbursable coverage', which implies that when you receive the compensation from the at-fault party's insurer you're required to reimburse your own insurance company for the expenses that they have made under the med-pay coverage.

It must have been described in your policy papers under the reimbursement clause that whether or not you're required to reimburse you insurer once your claim is settled with the party at-fault.

Thanks,
Carol

That's quite right....however another provision says that the insurance company can't ask for the reimbursement before you're settled with the at-fault party and are compensated suitably for the losses incurred. Pls check it with the policy document for more clarification.

This may be so in CA, Carol, but it's not in MO. Medpay is pay directly to the insured (unless they request otherwise) and is NOT subrogatible...EXCEPT if you are in accident in a no-fault state (MO is not), then PIP has to reimburse your medpay....

George give the CA Dept of Ins a quick call they will have a consumer line, and just ask that would be your best and quickest bet...I'd say more than likely it is subrgatible since they have requested reimbursment.
