Affected: IC 27-8-5-19

Sec. 17. In determining the amount to be paid by the secondary plan on a claim, should the plan wish to coordinate benefits, the secondary plan shall calculate the benefits it would have paid on the claim in the absence of other health coverage and apply that calculated amount to any allowable expense under its plan that is unpaid by the primary plan. The secondary plan:

1. (1) may reduce its payment by the amount so that, when combined with the amount paid by the primary plan, the total benefits paid or provided by all plans for the claim do not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the total allowable expense for that claim; and
2. (2) shall credit to its plan deductible any amounts it would have credited to its deductible in the absence of other health care coverage.
