Navigating the world of health insurance can be overwhelming, especially when you\u2019re covered by more than one plan. Whether you have insurance through your employer and a spouse\u2019s plan, or you\u2019re managing both Medicare and a private policy, understanding how these plans work together is crucial.

Coordination of Benefits ensures there\u2019s no duplication in claim payments when multiple health insurance plans are involved. It protects both the policyholder and the insurance providers by streamlining the billing process and avoiding overpayments.
