📘 Michigan Auto Insurance Series – Day 3 📘

There’s a common misunderstanding in Michigan about choosing PIP Medicare coverage.

👉 Choosing the Medicare PIP option does NOT mean you’re opting out of PIP entirely.

What it means is this:
• You are opting out of the medical portion of PIP
• Medicare becomes primary for accident-related medical bills
• Other PIP benefits may still apply, such as wage loss and replacement services, depending on your policy

Why this matters:
Many people believe selecting Medicare PIP means they have “no PIP coverage at all,” which isn’t accurate. But it does mean your medical bills after an auto accident will be handled differently — and gaps can still exist.

👉 Takeaway:
✔️ Understand what you’re opting out of — and what you’re not
✔️ Don’t assume PIP Medicare eliminates all PIP benefits
✔️ Review your policy carefully and ask questions before choosing

Michigan’s no-fault system is complicated, and the details matter 😮‍💨
