Arizona is recognized as an anti-subrogation state, preventing private health insurance companies the right to collect against a personal injury claim.
When you file a claim, your insurer can try to recover costs from the person responsible for your injury or property damage. This is known as subrogation. For example: Your insurance company pays your doctor for your treatment following an auto accident that someone else caused.
Subrogation rights can be limited by state law. In fact, eight states are considered “Anti-Subrogation” states with one more effectively anti-subrogation. Those states are: Arizona.
Yes, you do need to respond to subrogation letters and if you don't, your insurance will likely drop you. Basically, your insurance company is trying to see if someone else was responsible for your injury, for example, maybe you were injured in a car accident, a work injury, or something of the like.
There are exceptions to waiver of subrogation clauses. For example, if the owner's insurance doesn't cover a certain risk, the owner can pursue recovery costs from the negligent party. In addition, the policy owner may seek to recoup any costs from the third party that exceed the insurance policy's payout limit.
Those states are: Arizona. Connecticut. Kansas. Missouri. New Jersey. New York. North Carolina. Virginia.
