In the case of coordination of benefits, one plan will be deemed the primary plan and will pay benefits first. The secondary plan will then pay any remaining expenses that were not covered by the primary plan. In this case, Maria's plan as an employee will be considered the primary plan, and her husband's plan will be considered the secondary plan.
