How much protection does this coverage provide?
The coverage limits you see in your quote refer to the maximum amount that will
be paid per person for any combination of covered expenses.
Medical Payments
Medical payments coverage pays for medical and dental treatment,
hospitalization, professional nursing services, prostheses, and funeral
expenses if a covered driver and/or accompanying passengers are injured while
in an insured vehicle, regardless of who is at fault in the accident.
Medical payments may also cover policyholders and their family members when
they are injured while riding in someone else's car or if a car hits them while
on foot or bicycling.
If you and your regular passengers already have health insurance that covers
similar expenses, medical payments coverage may be unnecessary. Check your
health insurance policy for details.
The coverage limit refers to the maximum amount that will be paid per person,
per accident.

How much protection does this coverage provide?
If the other driver involved in an accident is underinsured, this coverage
typically pays any difference between what the other driver's insurance covers
and what your bodily injury coverage will pay.
The coverage limits you see in your quote refer to the maximum amount that will
be paid per person, per incident, respectively. If the limits you purchase are
lower than an accident's costs, you'll be responsible for paying the amounts
over your limits, unless you're covered by health insurance.
