Your choice, depending on which coverage is better. Try the auto insurance first. but remember, their job is to minimize costs, and sometimes you have to go where they send you. they may have limits depending on the policy and state laws. your medical coverage is designed to cut costs by keeping you alive and healthy to keep paying them. they don't make money off dead people or people too sick to work and keep coverage. they will usually end up paying for long term issues, especially if they don't pop up right away or if a pre existing conditioned is worsed. how much wor$e is the back pain, really? you should go through the auto insurance if its drastic, expensive, extensive care. if its minor aches and pain just pay your 10$ or $20 copay and go to your primary care physician (your doctor). if you get hurt in an accident, go to the closest hospital right away, don't delay or the ins co may try to loophole out of paying you, thinking scam alert.
i once tapped a couple in their 50's when i was 16 and only driving for a few months. he slammed on his breaks after realizing he was about to miss his turn. at 20 miles in a 25 (it was 200 yards after a turn) i hit a pile of wet leaves next to a stone wall and skidded into them. i was sited no fault as i could not get off the road or go into opposing traffic (why they stopped). they were complaining about how hard i hit them and she was saying he already had a bad back and now this. the office on the scene asked them did they want him to call them an ambulance to take them to a hospital. She said right away no, they were going to their own doctor. after they left the cop told me they would be trouble. but they were denied due to lack of physical proof and officer testimony. so the moral is because some scam, they reason all are potential scammers until proven actually hurt.
Call and ask your agent

As with anything regarding health insurance, it depends. Generally speaking, in an auto accident the question about medical benefits is secondary to providing the best care for the accident victim. After the emergency has passed is the time for figuring out who pays for the medical expenses. Often health insurance is asked to pay first. However, health insurance companies have a program called "subrogation" that seeks to ensure that the responsible party pays for their share of expenses. In the case of a car accident, typically the auto insurance will be primary and should pay medical expenses first. During the process of subrogation the health insurance provider will contact the auto insurance provider and negotiate who should pay the bills. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subrogation for additional information.

In insurance, PIP is an acronym for Personal Injury Protection. In some states, PIP provides coverage for an insured person for certain "reasonable and necessary" expenses. The types of expenses that qualify for PIP coverage vary from state to state, but some examples of expenses may include: loss of services, income continuation, medical and hospital expenses, funeral expenses, and child care expenses for bodily injury caused by a covered accident (regardless of who was at fault).
Your PIP insurance will in most cases cover your medical expenses even if you do not possess the required health insurance in Texas. This would pay for your medical expenses in a wreck.
I'm pretty sure this depends on who is the insurance company, but most travel insurance policies will cover emergency medical expenses. For every day medical expenses, you will have to talk to your every day insurance company.
No. Medical insurance covers medical expenses, not insurance premiums.
