A secondary insurance file is used to pay for any remaining eligible costs after a primary insurance plan has covered its portion of a health claim. This process, called Coordination of Benefits (COB), helps users identify secondary insurance details and any additional coverage. Secondary insurance is beneficial when the primary plan doesn't provide full coverage.
