What happens to my costs if I have secondary insurance or supplemental coverage? Some people have two insurance plans, called secondary insurance or supplemental coverage. Secondary insurances or supplemental coverages come in various forms, and your coverage is adjusted based on these insurance plans. Some cover deductibles and co-insurance, leaving you with $0 in responsibility. Some secondary insurances only cover co-insurance, so you’re still responsible for your deductible. Other secondaries don’t apply to medical coverage or CGMs and only apply to specific types of claims, such as hospital stays or prescription drug coverage.
