Which of the following is a stipulation of the medical payments to others provision?

• A. Medical expenses are covered only if they are necessary
• B. Medical expenses are covered for any injury
• C. Medical expenses are covered only if caused by the insured's negligence
• D. Medical expenses are covered only within the insured premises

Answer: (A)

Medical payments to others is a no-fault portion of auto (or related) coverage that pays reasonable and medically necessary medical expenses for injuries resulting from an automobile accident, up to the policy limit, regardless of who was at fault. The key stipulation is that these expenses must be medically necessary for treatment, which is why the correct statement says medical expenses are covered only if they are necessary. It doesn’t depend on negligence, doesn’t apply to injuries not tied to an accident, and isn’t limited to injuries that occur on the insured’s premises.
