In a dual coverage situation, the insurance that pays first is called the primary insurance.
Primary insurance coverage is what is first used when a medical service is being rendered. This is what will be billed first. Secondary insurance is supposed to cover what the primary insurance does not.
Primary life insurance coverage provides a fixed amount of coverage for a specific period of time, while contingent life insurance coverage acts as a backup plan in case the primary coverage is insufficient or unavailable. Primary coverage is typically purchased first and is the main source of protection, while contingent coverage is secondary and only comes into effect under certain circumstances.
