yes, your secondary insurance should cover this amount if you have reached your deductible with them. Normally, if the primary insurance applies a deductible or co-insurance/co-pay and you have not met your deductible on your secondary policy, depending on your policy they may apply the remaining balance to your deductible. Normally after the deductible is met on the secondary ins. they pay 100% of your remaining balance.

Yes, and you want them to because if they are paid out of order then it will be a mess to correct.
What are the advanced waste water treatment processes?
The three stages of sewage treatment are primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment. Primary treatment involves physical processes to remove large solids and debris. Secondary treatment uses biological processes to break down organic matter.

What is the definition of primary coverage in regard to medical insurance?
Often, a person will have "primary" insurance and "secondary" insurance. For example, if you have insurance through your job, and your husband has insurance through his job, then your primary insurance will be the one through your job, and your secondary insurance will be the one through your husband's job. Also, your husband's insurance through his job will be his primary, and yours through your job will be his secondary. There can be some exceptions to this though. For example, if you were married, had a child, then divorced and remarried (retaining custody of the child), and both your ex and current husbands have insurance through work, then the one who's birthday is first is considered the "primary" insurance, and the other is the "secondary" insurance. But there will still be a deductible with each one that has to be met before either one will pay.
Does a secondary beneficiary only receive funds from a life insurance policy if the primary beneficiary has already passed?
Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.

What is secondary waste treatment?
Primary sewage treatment essentially removes the lumps from raw sewage by settling and some of the organics by holding the waste before discharge. Secondary treatment de-lumps and then removes organics by allowing bacteria to feed on the nutrients then removing/collecting the bacteria for disposal. Tertiary treatment filters or chlorinates the treated waste to remove smaller particulates and bacteria.
If you have medicare as your primary insurance how do you get your Medicaid to be the secondary?
Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. Before a Medicaid agency pays a bill for a Medicare beneficiary, they require documentation that Medicare has "adjudicated" the bill (i.e., decided whether to make payment and, if so, how much).
If insured by your employer and your spouse's employer which is the primary insurance?
Your insurance through your employer is your primary insurance, and your spouse's primary insurance is through his/her employer. If both husband and wife are insured on both insurance policies, then you have primary and secondary coverage. But you will still have to pay any deductibles and co-pays before either policy will pay. The deductible is the amount you first have to pay (usually at the first of the year) before the insurance will pay anything. The co-pay is your percentage of what the insurance doesn't pay, which for many health insurance companies is 80% for them and 20% for you. There is sometimes a co-insurance that you have to pay also. Ex: Insurance companies have a set amount that they pay for any office visit, procedure, etc. If the bill is over what the insurance pays, then you are responsible for the balance.
