Option to Use Medical Insurance Coverage in an Auto Accident

[mikkiyee]

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Calfiornia

In an auto accident, does the party not at fault have the option not to use their own medical plan coverage, but instead seek that all medical expenses be paid by the other party's coverage? I was told that my own medical plan could seek reimbursement if I had the opportunity to have the party at fault pay for the expenses.

Their medical plan may exclude coverage unless the claim is first made through the auto insurance. Unfortunately, I can't read their policy terms from where I'm ssitting.
