What car insurance coverage do I need if I'm active-duty military?
I'm active duty and I have Tricare. Can I skip medical payments or PIP? What type of car insurance do I need?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Regardless of whether you’re in the military or not, in most states, every person driving on the road is required to carry at least the
state minimum car insurance
. Depending on where you live, this coverage can vary. Most experts recommend carrying limits of at least $100,000/$300,000 for
bodily injury liability
and $100,000 for property damage liability
. Some states also require you to have personal injury protection or
medical payment coverage
on an insurance policy. Even if your state doesn’t require it, it never hurts to have additional coverage.Most health insurance is considered to be secondary coverage. This means if you get into an accident, your health insurance company may require you to submit a claim with your car insurance company before they cover anything.
