Medical Payments Coverage, also known as MedPay, is a type of auto insurance coverage available in Nevada that can help pay for medical expenses incurred as a result of a car accident, regardless of who is at fault. MedPay is designed to cover medical expenses such as hospital bills, doctor visits, x-rays, and even funeral expenses.
 

What Are The Benefits of MedPay?

The benefits of having MedPay coverage in Nevada for personal injury cases are numerous. MedPay can provide much-needed financial support to cover medical bills resulting from a car accident. MedPay can be especially helpful for those who may not have health insurance or have high deductibles or co-pays. Additionally, MedPay can help alleviate the stress and anxiety that often comes with managing medical bills and expenses.

In Nevada, insurance companies are required to offer MedPay coverage to drivers. See NRS 687B.145(3). However, insurance companies are not required to reoffer the coverage to the drivers in any replacement, reinstatement, substitute or amended policy, but the driver may purchase the coverage by requesting it in writing from the insurer. As such, it is important for drivers to understand their coverage options and to speak with their insurance agent to determine whether MedPay coverage is right for them.
