Why does Blue KC need to know about other health/dental coverage that I have?

Many people are insured under more than one health and/or dental insurance plan at the same time. Because of dual insurance, Medicare Secondary Plans (MSP) and Coordination of Benefit (COB) requirements, Blue KC needs to determine primary insurance based on the facts of each situation. Most health insurance and dental plans include a COB provision that defines these requirements. This provision prevents payments from all Plans from exceeding the total allowable expense.
