Need clarification on using 2 insurance companies

[tsims2k11 2]

Hello Everyone,

This is my 1st post and I need a little help with clarification on using a primary and secondary insurance. I'm going through Kim Bariatric and my primary insurance is Aetna (they have approved) and my secondary through my parents is United HealthCare. My question is, if my primary insurance only covers Bariatric surgery up to $10K, but my secondary covers Bariatric surgery up to $25K, will I even be able to go through with the surgery? I have asked my coordinator and she was suppose to call me back. This is the last thing holding me back from getting a date. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Usually, a secondary payer won't cover beyond the limits of a primary payer's coverage, but that isn't always the case.

Why not call your insurance yourself and find out?
