TOPICAL INDEXING:
Not Applicable    


CASE SUMMARY:  
This per curiam Opinion is another coordination of benefits decision by the Court of Appeals holding that a health insurer cannot limit its liability to a nominal amount when the insured's injury would otherwise be covered by a no-fault automobile insurance policy. At the time of the injury in question, the insured was covered by both a no-fault coordinated automobile policy and a health insurance policy limiting the health insurer's liability to $300 if the expenses are otherwise covered by no-fault. In holding the health insurer liable for all of plaintiffs medical expenses, the Court relied on the Supreme Court's opinion in Federal Kemper v Health Insurance Administration (Item No. 868) and the Court of Appeals decision in Michigan Mutual v American Community (Item No. 1102).
