Insurance Needs Information About My Other Coverage. What Should I Do?
Check which coverage record is missing, which insurer is primary, the dates involved, and how to confirm a coordination-of-benefits update.
A claim can pause when an insurer needs to confirm whether another plan should pay first. Start with the exact coverage record and dates the insurer says are missing, rather than sending broad medical or billing records.

This page is meant to narrow the issue quickly and show the most relevant paths around it.
Identify the missing coverage fact
Ask whether the insurer needs another plan name, coverage dates, subscriber details, or confirmation that no other coverage exists.
Check which plan processes first
Ask each insurer how it classified its role for the service date. Do not assume the newest or employer plan is always primary.
Complete the bounded update
Use the insurer's stated coordination-of-benefits process and record the submission or call reference. Requirements vary by plan.
Return to the paused claim
Ask whether the claim will resume automatically or needs reprocessing after the record updates. MedClaimPlus helps organize facts and questions through structured no-document intake. It does not contact insurers or providers, submit claims, decide coverage, or promise outcomes.
Is coordination of benefits a denial?
Not necessarily. It may be a request to establish payment order before processing.
Does MCP decide which plan is primary?
No. It helps organize the facts and insurer-specific questions.
Should the provider resend the claim now?
Ask whether the existing claim will resume first; unnecessary duplicates can complicate review.
