Usually no, the primary carrier will have to pay first. It is of course against the law for anyone to tell anyone else your medical information, or for anyone that doesn't have to know, to have knowledge of your condition.

Only one can be the primary and the other the secondary. Choose the best for your primary and the lesser coverage for your secondary. With 2 insurance policies, you shouldn't have to pay for anything, unless the healthcare isn't included in either policy.
I would suggest talking with your primary doctors an asking which insurance carriers they accept and if they feel with your medical history you should choose one over another.
If a person does not have a job, or if their job does not provide health insurance, then the person might choose to buy private health insurance. It is usually less expensive to purchase health insurance through ones employer, but part time, contingent or contract personnel might not qualify for insurance through their employer. It is a good idea to have medical insurance at all times because illness or injury can strike any time and can rapidly become very expensive.
I would say use both insurance's because neither of them pay 100%. Use one insurance for primary and let the other insurance pick up what the other one doesn't pay. Kind of like a supplemental insurance. ==Answer == Absolutely use both. If you get to make the determination then choose as primary the one with the greatest benefit. Don't be surprised however if each wants to claim that the other is primary. What it may come down to in that situation is the one that was in place first will likely be considered primary.
ASO is an insurance acronym for "Administrative Services Only." It refers to an arrangement where an employer engages an insurance company to handle the administrative tasks (e.g. billing, claims handling, claims payment, qualification, etc.) for their employees. In these types of arrangements, the employer actually acts in a self-insured role which means that they are financially responsible for any claim payments to their employees. Many large corporations choose this type of insurance arrangement in order to obtain lower pricing from the insurance companies due to the fact that the insurance companies carry no risk obligation. The employees are still serviced by an insurance company, and often have no idea their employer is actually paying the claims behind the scene.
