Now I am really confused and frustrated.
I think the accurate answer to this would be finding out which insurance is your primary coverage. Whose birthday is first in the calendar year? Typically a secondary insurance will only cover the copays or coinsurance amount from the primary. If something isn't covered by the primary then the secondary won't cover either - again, I said typically.

Find out which insurance is primary and then go from there.
