If I already have health insurance, Do I need to carry medical payments insurance on my auto policy?

If you are not in a no-fault state, you are probably not required to have medical payments insurance. Medical payments insurance pays medical expenses that result from an auto accident, regardless of who is at fault. It covers people riding in your car. It also covers you and your family if you are hit by a car while you are walking, or if you are injured while riding in someone else's car (after the limits of the driver's insurance are reached). Medical payments insurance will also pay for funeral expenses in the event of a death.

No-fault states have a form of medical expense coverage called Personal Injury Protection (PIP). In addition to medical bills, PIP covers lost wages, certain services (such as child care) that the covered individual is unable to perform, and some funeral expenses.

Some no-fault states allow you to make your health insurance your primary medical coverage, reducing your premiums for PIP significantly.

If you have adequate insurance for life, health and disability, you should consider saving money by not taking medical payments insurance (if your state allows) or minimizing medical payments insurance/PIP coverage.
