What is the difference between Med Pay and PIP?

 

A: Medical Payments (Med Pay) covers the medical payments of passengers in your vehicle if they are injured. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) includes that coverage but can also extend to cover other items such as your lost wages.

A few states have passed limited no-fault statutes. Each state has different limits, coverage triggers, and coverage application. However, these statutes typically stipulate that losses under a certain amount are covered by the no-fault system rather than by the at-fault driver's liability coverage. If the no-fault statute applies, the PIP of your own policy would pay your claim.

PIP replaces Med Pay in all states with no-fault statutes.
