Generally, there is no beneficial result from having 2 different insurance coverages for health. This is why: most health insurance companies will not pay what is covered by another insurance company. Most of the time, they will share paying 50-50, but you end up still paying your copay and deductible. The exception is if you have Medicare coverage. By having additional insurance (called medigap insurance) the latter insurance will take care of the 20% that medicare does not cover.
