COORDINATION OF BENEFITS

Applicability

The Coordination of Benefits (“COB”) provision applies to This Plan when You have health care coverage under more than one Plan. “Plan” and “This Plan” are defined below.

If this COB provision applies, the order of benefit determination rules should be looked at first. Those rules determine whether the benefits of This Plan are determined before or after those of another Plan.

The benefits of This Plan:

(a) will not be reduced when, under the order of benefit determination rules, This Plan determines its benefits before another Plan; but

(b) may be reduced when, under the order of benefit determination rules, another Plan determines its benefits first.

This reduction is described further in the section entitled Effect on the Benefits of This Plan.

Definitions

Plan is written on a form this is on an expense incurred basis that provides benefits or services for, or because of, medical or dental care or treatment. “Plan” includes:

(a) group insurance and group remittance subscriber contracts;

(b) uninsured arrangements of group coverage;

(c) group coverage through HMO’s and other prepayment, group practice and individual practice Plans; and

(d) blanket contracts, except blanket school accident coverages or a similar group when the Policyholder pays the premium.

“Plan” does not include individual or family:

(a) insurance contracts;

(b) direct payment subscriber contracts;

(c) coverage through HMO’s; or

(d) coverage under other prepayment, group practice and individual practice Plans.

This Plan is the parts of this blanket contract that provide benefits for health care expenses on an expense incurred basis.

Primary Plan is one whose benefits for a person’s health care coverage must be determined without taking the existence of any other Plan into consideration. A Plan is a Primary Plan if either:

(a) the Plan either has no order of benefit determination rules, or it has rules that differ from those in the contract; or

(b) all Plans that cover the person use the same order of benefits determination rules as in this contract, and under those rules the Plan determines its benefits first.

Secondary Plan is one that is not a Primary Plan. If a person is covered by more than one Secondary Plan, the order of benefit determination rules of this contract decide the order in which their benefits are determined in relation to each other. The benefits of each Secondary Plan may take into consideration the benefits of the Primary Plan or Plans and the benefits of any other Plan that, under the rules of this contract, has its benefits determined before those of that Secondary Plan.

Allowable Expense is the necessary, reasonable, and customary item of expense for health care; when the item of expense is covered at least in part under any of the Plans involved.

The difference between the cost of a private Hospital room and a semi-private Hospital room is not considered an Allowable Expense under the above definition unless the patient’s stay in a private Hospital room is medically necessary in terms of generally accepted medical practice.

When a Plan provides benefits in the form of services, the reasonable cash value of each service will be considered both an Allowable Expense and a benefit paid. Claim is a request that benefits of a Plan be provided or paid.

Claim is a request that benefits of a Plan be provided or paid. The benefits claimed may be in the form of:

(a) services (including supplies);

(b) payment for all or a portion of the expenses incurred; or

(c) a combination of (a) and (b).

 Claim Determination Period is the period of time that must not be less than twelve (12) consecutive months, over which Allowable Expenses are compared with total benefits payable in the absence of COB, to determine:

(a) whether other insurance exists; and

(b) how much each Plan will pay or provide.

For the purposes of this contract, Claim Determination Period is the period of time beginning with the Effective Date of coverage and ending twelve (12) consecutive months following the date of Loss or longer as may be determined by the Proof of Loss provision.

Order of Benefit Determination Rules

When This Plan is a Primary Plan, its benefits are determined before those of any other Plan and without considering another

Plan’s benefits.

When This Plan is a Secondary Plan, its benefits are determined after those of any other Plan only when, under these rules,it is secondary to that other Plan.

When there is a basis for a Claim under This Plan and another Plan, This Plan is a Secondary Plan that has its benefits determined after those of the other Plan, unless:

(a) the other Plan has rules coordinating its benefits with those of This Plan; and

(b) both those rules and This Plan’s rules, as described below, require that This Plan’s benefits be determined before those of the other Plan.

Rules

This Plan determines its order of benefits using the first of the following rules which applies:

(a) Nondependent/Dependent Rule. The benefits of the Plan that covers the person as an employee, member or subscriber (that is, other than as a dependent) are determined before those of the Plan that covers the person as a dependent.

(b) Longer/Shorter Length of Coverage Rule. The benefits of the Plan that covered an employee, member or subscriber longer are determined before those of the Plan that covered that person for the shorter time.

To determine the length of time a person has been covered under a Plan, two Plans shall be treated as one if the claimant was eligible under the second within twenty-four (24) hours after the first ended. Thus, the start of a new Plan does not include:

(a) a change in the amount or scope of a Plan’s benefits;

(b) a change in the entity that pays, provides or administers the Plan’s benefits; or

(c) a change from one type of Plan to another. The claimant’s length of time covered under a Plan is measured from the claimant’s first date of coverage under that Plan. If that date is not readily available, the date the claimant first became a member of the group shall be used as the date from which to determine the length of time the claimant’scoverage under the present Plan has been in force.

Effect on the Benefits of This Plan When it is Secondary

The benefits of This Plan will be reduced when it is a Secondary Plan so that the total benefits paid or provided by all Plans during a Claim Determination Period are not more than the total Allowable Expenses, not otherwise paid that were incurred during the Claim Determination Period by the person for whom the Claim is made. As each Claim is submitted, This Plan determines its obligation to pay for Allowable Expenses based on all Claims that were submitted up to that point in time during the Claim Determination Period.

Right to Receive and Release Needed Information

Certain facts are needed to apply these COB rules. The Company has the right to decide which facts are needed. The Company may get needed facts from or give them to any other organization or person. The Company need not tell, or get the consent of, any person to do this. Each person claiming benefits under This Plan must give the Company any facts we need to pay the Claim.

Facility of Payment

A payment made under another Plan may include an amount that should have been paid under This Plan. If it does, the Company may pay that amount to the organization that made that payment. That amount will then be treated as though it were a benefit paid under This Plan. The Company will not have to pay that amount again. The term “payment made” includes providing benefits in the form of services, in which case “payment made” means reasonable monetary value of the benefits provided in the form of services.

Right of Recovery

If the amount of the payments made by the Company is more than the Company should have paid under this COB provision, the Company may recover the excess from one or more of: (a) the persons we have paid or for whom we have paid; (b) insurance companies; or (c) other organizations.

Non-complying Plans

This Plan may coordinate its benefits with a Plan that is excess or always secondary or that uses order of benefit determination rules that are inconsistent with those of This Plan (non-complying Plan) on the following basis:

(a) If This Plan is the Primary Plan, This Plan will pay its benefits on a primary basis;

(b) if This Plan is the Secondary Plan, This Plan will pay its benefits first, but the amount of the benefits payable will be determined as if This Plan were the Secondary Plan. In this situation, our payment will be the limit of This Plan’s liability; and

(c) if the non-complying Plan does not provide the information needed by This Plan to determine its benefits within thirty (30) days after it is requested to do so, the Company will assume that the benefits of the non-complying Plan are identical to This Plan and will pay benefits accordingly. However, the Company will adjust any payments made based on this assumption whenever information becomes available as to the actual benefits of the non-complying Plan.
