Michigan Auto Insurance - PIP Coverage: Unlimited vs Option 6 (What You Need To Know)

Michigan auto insurance has a unique system with Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage options that allow individuals to choose between different levels of PIP coverage.


That said, in Michigan's auto insurance system, if you opt for full PIP medical coverage through your auto insurance provider, you would typically have comprehensive medical coverage for auto-related injuries.


This coverage would include medical expenses, rehabilitation, and potentially other benefits like wage loss coverage, funeral benefits, and survivor's benefits.


If you choose Option 6 and choose to rely solely on Medicare coverage for auto-related injuries, you might be missing out on several benefits that full PIP medical coverage provides, such as:


1. Unlimited Medical Coverage: Full PIP medical coverage in Michigan often includes unlimited medical benefits, meaning there's no cap on the amount your insurance will pay for medical expenses related to auto accidents.


2. Non-Medical Benefits: PIP coverage can also include non-medical benefits, like wage loss coverage, which can help replace lost income if you're unable to work due to injuries sustained in an auto accident.


3. Rehabilitation Services: PIP coverage often includes coverage for rehabilitation services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other therapies that may not be fully covered by Medicare.


4. Attendant Care: PIP may cover the cost of in-home attendant care or nursing services if you require assistance with daily activities due to your injuries.


5. Medical Transportation: PIP may cover transportation costs related to medical treatment, such as ambulance services or mileage reimbursement for driving to medical appointments.


6. Home Modifications: PIP may cover modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate your injuries if necessary.


7. Survivor's Benefits: PIP may provide benefits to your survivors in the unfortunate event of a fatal auto accident.


Please note that the specific details of PIP coverage options in Michigan can vary among insurance companies and policies.
