In the matter of:
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Choice Forms
and Bodily Injury Coverage Limits Form
__________________________________________/
Issued and entered
this 24th day of February 2025
by Anita G. Fox
Director
This bulletin supersedes Bulletin 2023-11-INS, issued April 13, 2023, to issue a revised version of the
Michigan Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Medical Coverage Form and to reissue the Choice of
Bodily Injury Liability Form.
Michigan Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Medical Coverage Forms
The Michigan Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Medical Coverage Form for individuals has been
amended for clarity. The new form contains a revised cover page to provide further and more prominent
explanation of PIP coverage. The new form also contains an expanded definitions section, which clarifies
existing definitions as well as adds definitions for “allowable expenses,” “family-provided attendant care,” and
“unlimited PIP medical coverage.” The definition of “Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical” is removed
because the concept is described on the revised form’s cover page. Clarifying changes also have been made
to “Section A: Your PIP Medical Choices and the Risks and Benefits of Each,” and “Section D: Certification.”
Note that the Section A changes are confined to “Option 1: Unlimited Coverage” and “Option 4: Limited
Coverage of $250,000 per person per accident with some or all persons excluded.”
The Michigan Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Medical Coverage Form for commercial policies
has also been amended to implement clarifying changes that are consistent with those made in the Michigan
Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Medical Coverage Form for individuals.
Automobile insurers must offer applicants and insureds a choice of PIP medical limits for policies issued or
renewed after July 1, 2020. Insurers may use the Michigan Selection of Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Medical Coverage Form or their own form. Either way, insurers must file any new or revised form with DIFS
for prior approval. In accordance with MCL 500.2236(1), insurers that wish to use a new or revised form must
submit their proposed PIP choice form in a form filing no fewer than 30 days prior to the effective date of the
form, but in no event later than June 1, 2025.
Consumers with a qualified health coverage (“QHC”) are eligible to opt out of purchasing PIP medical
coverage pursuant to MCL 500.3107d. Insurers and producers must ensure that consumers who are
purchasing or renewing coverage are fully informed of their eligibility to opt out of purchasing PIP medical
coverage if they have a QHC deductible that is not greater than the amount determined under MCL
500.3107d(7)(b)(i)(B),which is currently $6,579 or less. See Bulletin 2025-06-INS.
Choice of Bodily Injury Liability Coverage Limits Form
Section 3009(5) of the Insurance Code, MCL 500.3009(5), requires automobile insurers to use the DIFS
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage Limits Form (the “BI Form”). The BI Form has not been amended but is
republished here for convenience.
Automobile insurers are required to use this form when offering applicants and insureds no-fault automobile
insurance that will be issued or renewed after July 1, 2020. The attached BI Form must be offered to all
insureds at each renewal after July 1, 2020.
Insurers and producers are required to offer, at the time of application or renewal, a list of all bodily injury
options that are available from that insurer and the price for each option, not only the $50,000/$100,000 and
$250,000/$500,000 limits expressly referenced in the BI Form.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
The purpose of this form is to explain the choice you have regarding your Personal Injury
Protection medical (PIP medical) coverage and to assist you in making that choice. Read this
form carefully because the choice you make will have financial consequences.
Definitions for all terms in bold type on this form have been provided on the next page.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Coverage Explained
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) provides coverage for three basic types of benefits: (1) Personal Injury Protection
(PIP) medical; (2) wage loss; and (3) replacement services.
PIP medical includes allowable expenses for reasonably necessary products, services, and accommodations for an
injured person's care, recovery, or rehabilitation. PIP medical includes some funeral and burial expenses.
This form allows you to select the level of PIP medical coverage you want included with your auto policy.
NOTICE
You must choose the level of PIP medical coverage you wish to have under your auto policy. If
you do not make a PIP medical coverage selection from the options listed:
•
Your policy may be issued with unlimited PIP medical coverage; AND
•
You will be charged the appropriate premium for the coverage issued.
If you are renewing an expiring policy that includes a PIP medical coverage selection of unlimited
(Option 1), $500,000 per person per accident (Option 2), or $250,000 per person per accident with
no excluded persons (Option 3), your policy will be issued with the same PIP medical coverage
as your expiring policy.
Qualified Health Coverage Proof Requirements
All policies with a PIP medical coverage selection of $250,000 with some or all persons excluded (Option 4) OR
$50,000 per person per accident (Option 5) OR No PIP medical coverage (Option 6) must provide current updated
documentation at issuance and each renewal for Medicaid, Medicare, or other qualified health coverage as applicable
to the chosen coverage. If you do not provide the documentation AND:
•
Your PIP medical coverage selection is $250,000 with some or all persons excluded (Option 4), your policy will
be issued with $250,000 PIP medical coverage with no excluded persons (Option 3) and you will be charged
the appropriate premium for this coverage.
•
Your PIP medical coverage selection is $50,000 per person per accident (Option 5) OR no PIP medical
coverage (Option 6), your policy will be issued with unlimited PIP medical coverage (Option 1) and you will be
charged the appropriate premium for this coverage.
Proof of Medicaid coverage may be in the form of a current Medicaid ID card or a letter from the Michigan Department
of Health and Human Services.

Definitions
The terms in bold letters throughout this form are defined in this form for informational purposes only and are not
intended to limit or expand coverage that may be available in a particular policy.
Allowable expenses consist of reasonable charges incurred for reasonably necessary products, services, and
accommodations for an injured person's care, recovery, or rehabilitation. Payment of allowable expenses is subject to
the terms and limits contained in the insurance policy and the Insurance Code. Allowable expenses include attendant
care. Allowable expenses do not include family-provided attendant care for more than 56 hours per week when the
insurer has not agreed to pay such benefits in excess of the hourly limitation. This means that prescribed hours in excess
of 56 hours per week will be provided by a non-family provider. The Insurance Code does not include the following as
allowable expenses: (1) charges for a hospital room that exceed a reasonable and customary charge for semiprivate
accommodations, unless the injured person requires special or intensive care; and (2) funeral and burial expenses that
exceed the amount set by the policy, which must not be less than $1,750.00 or more than $5,000.00. (3) Insurers also
are not required to cover the medical use of marihuana or expenses related to the medical use of marihuana.
Applicant means a person who has submitted an application for insurance but is not yet insured under a policy.
Attendant care means services that are provided for the particular needs of an injured person, i.e., services that would not
have been required before the injury and that are not performed for the benefit of the whole household.
•
Attendant care generally includes, but is not limited to, serving meals in bed, bathing, dressing, grooming,
administering medication, escorting, supervising, or transporting for medical treatment.
•
Attendant care generally does not include providing transportation that is not for medical treatment, preparing
family meals, or maintaining the house, automobile, or yard—even if such tasks would have been performed by
the injured person but for the covered injury.
•
Subject to the dollar limit on the option selected, an injured person is entitled to benefits payable for reasonable
charges incurred for as many hours of attendant care as is reasonably necessary for their care, recovery, or
rehabilitation.
Excess attendant care means additional coverage purchased for attendant care above the PIP medical coverage limit
selected for your policy.
Family-provided attendant care means attendant care rendered in the injured person's home provided directly, or
indirectly through another person, by any of the following:
•
An individual who is related to the injured person.
•
An individual who is domiciled in the household of the injured person.
•
An individual with whom the injured person had a business or social relationship before the injury.
Michigan Assigned Claims Plan is a program that may pay benefits to people injured in an accident involving a motor
vehicle when there is no applicable automobile insurance policy.
Named insured means the individual(s) named in an insurance policy.
Qualified health coverage means either of the following:
•
Health and accident coverage that does not exclude or limit coverage for injuries related to auto accidents and
has an annual individual deductible of $6,579 or less; OR
•
Coverage under both Medicare Parts A and B (or a Medicare Advantage plan).
Medicaid and health care sharing ministries are examples of coverages that are NOT considered qualified health
coverage.
Resident relative means a relative of either you or your spouse who lives in the same household.
Unlimited PIP medical coverage (“unlimited coverage”) means PIP medical coverage that has no aggregate dollar
limit for payments for allowable expenses related to a covered accident. This coverage is subject to the terms and
dollar limits contained in the insurance policy or the Insurance Code.

Section A: Your PIP Medical Choices and the Risks and Benefits of Each
Option 1: Unlimited Coverage
This option provides the most coverage. It will pay for all allowable expenses without being subject to an aggregate
dollar limit for your care, recovery, and rehabilitation if you are injured in an auto accident.
Risks
The premiums for this option are higher than premiums for other options.
Benefits
PIP medical will cover costs that may not be covered by health insurance, such as rehabilitation and
attendant care.
This choice will significantly limit the risk that you will have out-of-pocket costs for your care.
Option 2: Limited Coverage of $500,000 per person per accident or
Option 3: Limited Coverage of $250,000 per person per accident
If you choose one of these limits, this amount is the most your auto insurance company will pay per person per accident
for an injured person’s expenses under PIP medical coverage.
NOTE: If you choose Option 2 or Option 3, your insurance company must offer excess attendant care coverage, which
you may purchase for an additional premium. Check with your agent or company for additional information.
Risks
Limited PIP medical coverages may not be enough to cover your medical expenses. If your PIP
medical limit is reached, you may need to rely on other health coverage, which may not cover all
medical, rehabilitation or attendant care costs. If you do not have other health coverage, you may be
personally responsible for paying these expenses.
Benefits
Lower coverage limits have less expensive premiums than plans with higher or unlimited PIP medical
coverage.
Up to the limit chosen, PIP medical will cover the cost of products and services that may not be
covered by health insurance, such as rehabilitation and attendant care.
Option 4: Limited Coverage of $250,000 per person per accident with some or all persons excluded
You may select this option if both of the following are true:
•
A named insured who is excluding PIP medical has qualified health coverage that is not Medicare; AND
•
Any spouse or resident relative who is excluded from PIP medical has qualified health coverage.
Any person who is excluded will have no PIP medical coverage. A person may only be excluded if proof of qualified
health coverage has been provided for that person. Any person who is not excluded will be limited to $250,000 in PIP
medical coverage, and the named insured will be charged the appropriate premium for this coverage.
NOTE: If you choose this option, your insurance company must offer excess attendant care, which you may purchase
for an additional premium. This coverage is only available to those who are not excluded from PIP medical coverage.
Check with your agent or company for additional information.
Risks
ANYONE YOU EXCLUDE WILL NOT HAVE PIP MEDICAL COVERAGE.
In addition:
•
Persons relying on qualified health coverage to pay for auto accident injuries should be
aware that, unlike auto insurance, health insurance stops paying when the policy ends or is
canceled.
•
If any excluded person loses qualified health coverage, you must notify your insurer within
30 days of loss of coverage.
•
Within 30 days of losing qualified health coverage, if an excluded person is injured in an
auto accident, coverage will be provided by the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan up to
$2,000,000 if they have no other qualified health coverage or PIP medical coverage.
•
A person who has not obtained qualified health coverage or PIP medical coverage within
30 days of the loss of qualified health coverage will not be entitled to any PIP medical
benefits.
Benefits
You will pay a reduced premium because you will not be charged a premium for PIP medical
coverage for anyone who is excluded.

Section A (Continued)
Option 5: Limited Coverage of $50,000 per person per accident
If you choose this limit, $50,000 is the most your auto insurance company will pay per person per accident for an
injured person’s expenses under PIP medical coverage.
You may select this option if:
•
The applicant or named insured is enrolled in Medicaid; AND
•
Any spouse and all resident relatives have one of the following:
a) qualified health coverage;
b) coverage under Medicaid, or
c) coverage under another Michigan auto policy with PIP medical coverage.
NOTES:
•
Proof of Medicaid coverage may be in the form of a current Medicaid ID card or a letter from the Michigan
Department of Health and Human Services.
•
Your insurance company must offer excess attendant care coverage, which you may purchase for an
additional premium. Check with your agent or company for additional information.
Risks
Limited PIP medical coverages may not be enough to cover the cost of your medical care. If your
PIP medical limit is reached, you may need to rely on other health coverage, which may not cover all
medical, rehabilitation, or attendant care costs. If you do not have other health coverage, you may
be personally responsible for paying these expenses.
Benefits
Lower coverage limits have less expensive premiums than plans with higher or unlimited PIP
medical coverage.
Up to the limit chosen, PIP medical will cover the cost of products and services that may not be
covered by health insurance, such as rehabilitation and attendant care.
Option 6: No PIP medical coverage for anyone covered by this policy
You may select this option if:
•
The applicant or named insured has coverage under both Medicare Parts A and B (or a Medicare Advantage
plan), AND
•
Any spouse and all resident relatives covered by the policy have qualified health coverage or are covered
under another auto policy with PIP medical coverage.
Risks
NO PIP MEDICAL COVERAGE WILL BE PROVIDED UNDER YOUR POLICY.
You and any other persons covered by this policy will not have PIP medical coverage. You and
those persons may have to rely on other health coverage to pay for medical expenses resulting from
an auto accident, which may not cover all products and services that PIP medical provides.
•
Persons relying on qualified health coverage to pay for auto accident injuries should be
aware that, unlike auto insurance, health insurance stops paying when the policy ends or is
canceled.
•
If anyone covered by the policy loses qualified health coverage, you must notify your
insurer within 30 days of loss of the coverage.
•
Within the 30 days of losing qualified health coverage, if anyone covered by the policy is
injured in an auto accident, coverage will be provided by the Michigan Assigned Claims
Plan up to $2,000,000 if they have no other qualified health coverage or PIP medical
coverage.
•
A person who has not obtained qualified health coverage or PIP medical coverage within
30 days of the loss of coverage will not be entitled to any PIP medical benefits.
Benefits
You will pay a reduced premium because your policy will not be charged a premium for PIP medical
coverage.

MICHIGAN CHOICE OF BODILY INJURY LIABILITY COVERAGE LIMITS
AGENCY:
APPLICANT/NAMED INSURED:
INSURANCE COMPANY:
POLICY/QUOTE NO.:
EFFECTIVE DATE:
READ THIS ENTIRE FORM CAREFULLY
THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
The purpose of this form is to explain the choice you have regarding your bodily
injury liability insurance protection and to assist you in making that choice. Read
this form carefully because the choice you make will have financial consequences.
PART A: BODILY INJURY LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE EXPLAINED
Bodily injury liability insurance covers claims made against you for injuries to others if you are at fault in an auto
accident. Michigan auto insurance policies are required to provide bodily injury liability insurance coverage of not less
than $250,000 per person and up to $500,000 per accident (“$250,000/$500,000”) for these claims unless you select
higher or lower limits depending on the amount of protection you need. In no event can you select less than $50,000
per person and $100,000 per accident. If you do not make a selection, your policy will be issued with limits of
$250,000/$500,000.
If you want bodily injury liability coverage limits of $250,000/$500,000 or more, you do NOT need to complete
this form.
PART B: INCREASED RISKS WITH LOWER BODILY INJURY LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE LIMITS
If you are responsible for injuries to another person, you may be liable for damages for their pain and suffering, as well
as the costs of their medical and other care that exceed their coverage under their auto insurance policy. The bodily
injury liability limit of your policy will pay for such damages, but only up to the amount of the limit you choose. You will
be required to pay any amount over the limit you choose. This amount could be substantial and may lead to severe
financial consequences, such as:
•
Your assets may be seized, or a lien may be placed on your home;
•
Your wages may be garnished; or
•
Your driver’s license may be suspended.
Selecting lower bodily injury liability insurance coverage limits may also affect your eligibility for an umbrella policy.
PART C: CONFIRMATION OF UNDERSTANDING—YOU MUST READ AND INITIAL EACH LINE
_______ I have received a list of all the bodily injury liability coverage options available to me and the price for each
option.
_______ I understand that any bodily injury liability coverage election I make applies to me and any other person
covered by this policy.
_______ I understand that the bodily injury liability coverage limits I choose will remain the same as long as the
policy is in effect or until I change them.
BY SIGNING THIS FORM, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT: (1) I HAVE READ THIS FORM OR HAD IT READ TO ME;
(2) I UNDERSTAND MY CHOICES AND THE POTENTIALLY SEVERE RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE; AND (3) I AM
CHOOSING TO PURCHASE BODILY INJURY LIABILITY COVERAGE LIMITS LOWER THAN $250,000/$500,000.
