COVERAGE GUIDE
Medical payments coverage (MedPay) on a Tennessee auto policy can help pay medical and funeral expenses for you and your passengers after a car accident—often regardless of fault—up to the MedPay limit. It is not a substitute for health insurance and not bodily injury liability owed to others. Tennessee drivers still need liability at least at the commonly cited 25/50/25 floor as the legal core.
Typically helps with
- Medical bills for eligible insureds and passengers after a covered auto accident
- Funeral expenses within the MedPay limit
- Occasional pedestrian scenarios when the form includes them
- Fast first-party dollars while fault is still being sorted
Usually does not
- Third-party liability judgments against you
- Vehicle repairs after crashes or hail
- Unlimited major-medical financing for months of rehab
- UM/UIM damages beyond medical bills
How Tennessee MedPay fits beside liability and UM
Bodily injury liability pays people you injure when you are at fault. MedPay helps with medical bills for insured occupants without waiting on fault. UM/UIM pursues broader damages when the other driver is uninsured or underinsured. Read Tennessee MedPay, Tennessee liability, and Tennessee UM.
Compare Texas and Missouri cousins at Texas MedPay and Missouri MedPay so relocated drivers do not mix rules.
Limits, health insurance order, and passengers
Common MedPay limits range from a few thousand dollars upward. High-deductible health plans make even modest MedPay useful for ambulance and ER cost-sharing. Passengers may access the host vehicle’s MedPay; household policies can create priority questions—bring every declarations page.
Physical damage remains separate: collision, comprehensive, and GAP topics via Tennessee GAP and when GAP does not pay.
Rideshare, company cars, and claim habits
On-app rideshare periods and employer autos can shift which policy is primary. Personal MedPay may not follow every commercial use—ask before a claim reconstructs your week from app logs. Browse Tennessee auto hub and products.
Document crashes promptly, seek appropriate care, and keep itemized bills. Coordination with health coverage varies. For quotes: get a quote or ask an agent.

|---|---|---|
| MedPay | You/passengers | No |
