People sometimes also purchase medical payments coverage (MPC) in addition to their PIP coverage. This is helpful because PIP only pays 80% of the medical care and there is often a deductible so the injured person is left with outstanding bills. Luckily MPC will pay the amount that PIP does not. However, what people don't know is that when you are injured by another due to their negligence and their insurance company compensates you financially for your medical care, you have to pay back your own insurance company for the medical payments coverage (MPC).
As you can see, it is not always a benefit to have purchased MPC if you have to repay your insurance company from your settlement. Not every insurance company requires repayment. You should speak with your agent and make sure that your insurance company does not require the medical payments coverage be repaid in the event of a settlement.
