Coordination of Benefits (COB)
Rules that determine the order in which multiple health plans pay so total payment does not exceed the loss.
When a person is covered by more than one plan, COB provisions set which plan is primary and which is secondary, preventing the insured from collecting more than 100% of the actual expense.
