A particular patient has Geico PIP coverage of 80% and he is responsible for 20% after meeting a $1000 deductible. Once the deductible has been met, am I to bill their HEALTH ins (Aetna) for the 20% they owe per visit? If so, what happens if they also have a $800 deductible under their health insurance? Is it possible to send Aetna the Geico EOBS to show the deductible has been met and have this apply to their $800 deductible? Seems like the patient will always be paying a large sum out of pocket. Is it possible to just charge the patient the 20% and ignore the coverage with Aetna?

Bill the PIP first, then send a copy of the EOB with the claim to Aetna (that was the secondary, right?). This will be the same as any other Primary/Secondary insurance situation. There are deductibles and co-pays to meet on both plans. The patient will have to pay the portion that they owe.
