Benefit Information

You are eligible for a Monthly Benefit after:

    

 

n  You become Disabled;

    

n  You are receiving services in a Nursing Facility or Assisted Living Facility;

    

n  You have satisfied Your Elimination Period; and

    

n  a Physician has certified that You are unable to perform (without Substantial Assistance from   another individual) two or more ADLs for a period of at least 90 days, or that You require   Substantial Supervision by another individual to protect You or others from threats to health or   safety due to Severe Cognitive Impairment. You will be required to submit a Physician   certification every 12 months.

    

A Monthly Benefit will become payable once all of these requirements are met.

    

Treatment for Your Disability must be provided pursuant to a plan of care developed by a Licensed Health Care Practitioner. We will pay You:

    

n  the Nursing Facility Benefit Amount if You are Disabled and are receiving services in a Nursing   Facility, or

In Colorado Bed Reservation is 31 days per policy year.






  

Bed Reservation Provision

 

If Your stay in a Nursing Facility or Assisted Living Facility is interrupted because You are hospitalized and You are receiving a benefit, we will continue to pay You the Monthly Benefit Amount if a charge is made to reserve Your Nursing Facility or Assisted Living Facility accommodations. Such days will count toward the Maximum Benefit Amount.

 

If Your stay is interrupted while You are completing Your Elimination Period, such days will be used to help satisfy this period.

 

Covered Bed Reservation days will be limited to 31 days per calendar year.

 


If an insured is receiving benefits, we may work with them to find the best support for their recovery and to help them gain functional capacity.

 

This may include an alternative care plan.

 

Not available in Indiana and Pennsylvania.

  

Rehabilitation and Alternate Care Plans

 

While You are disabled, we may suggest participation in an alternate care plan designed to help You regain the ability to independently perform the Activities of Daily Living. The services/equipment must be medically necessary and appropriate for Your Disability and provided pursuant to a plan of care approved by a Physician. These services or equipment must be intended to assist You in living at home or in other residential housing by eliminating Your need for Substantial Assistance. The services or equipment cannot be covered by other insurance or Medicare. Examples of an alternate care plan may include, but are not limited to:

If for any reason You do not wish to participate in an alternate care plan, Your benefits will continue according to the provisions of this contract.

Claim Information


How to Submit a Claim.

  

How to File a Claim

    

You must give us written notice of claim within 30 days of the date of disability. If it is not possible for You to give us notice within this time limit, it must be given as soon as reasonably possible.

    

We will send You our initial claim forms when we receive Your written notice of claim. If You do not receive our claim forms within 15 days after written notice of claim is sent, You can send us written proof of claim without waiting for the forms.

    

You must give us initial proof of claim no later than 90 days after the date of disability. If it is not possible for You to give proof within these time limits, it must be given as soon as reasonably possible. However, proof of claim must be given no later than one year after the time proof is otherwise required.

    

The proof of Your claim must include:

    

n  the date the Disability occurred;

    

n  the cause of the Disability;

    

n  the extent of the Disability;

    

n  certification by a Physician that You are unable to perform (without Substantial Assistance from   another individual) two or more ADLs for at least 90 days, or that You require Substantial   Supervision by another individual to protect Yourself and others from threats to health or safety   due to Severe Cognitive Impairment;

    

n  Your plan of care developed by a Licensed Health Care Practitioner;

    

n  such other proof as we may deem necessary.

When we pay a claim.

All benefits are payable directly to You unless You have requested in writing that payment be made otherwise.

 

13


 

    

If You die while You are eligible to receive benefits, we will pay any accrued benefit to Your estate. At our option, any remaining benefit of $1,000 or less may be paid to an alternative payee if either of the following is true:

    

n  such benefit is payable to Your estate, or

    

n  such benefit is payable to any person who is a minor or otherwise not competent to give a valid

     release.

    

The alternative payee must be a person who we feel is entitled to receive the benefit. Also, the alternative payee must be related to You by blood or marriage. Any such payments made in good faith will fully discharge us to the extent of such payment.


  

Claim Overpayment

Claim Overpayment.

  

If for any reason, benefits have been paid for a period for which You were not entitled to benefits, repayment of the overpayment must be made to us within 45 days of notice to You. Any amounts not repaid may be recovered by us by offsetting against any amounts otherwise payable to You under this Policy, or by other reasonable means.

Waiver of Premium

    

After You have satisfied Your Elimination Period, we will waive premium payment during any period for which benefits are payable. Any premium which You had paid to us during Your Elimination Period will be refunded to You on a pro rata basis.

    

The pro rata refund will be calculated based on the number of days in Your Elimination Period.

    

If benefits are no longer payable, You must resume premium payments. We will notify You of the amount of Your next premium payment and the date it is due.

    

Grace Period

    

The Grace Period is the 31 consecutive days that begin with the day a premium is due. We will keep this policy in effect and continue coverage during that time. If the premium is not paid during those 31 days, this policy will terminate. However, termination of the policy will not prejudice any payable claim for a covered loss which begins prior to policy termination.

    

The first premium is due and payable on the Effective Date of the policy. There is no Grace Period for the first premium.

    

Reinstatement

    

If this policy terminates because a premium is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, You may apply to reinstate this policy at any time until the first unpaid premium is six months overdue.

    

In order to reinstate this policy, three requirements must be met. They are:

    

n  You must complete a reinstatement application;

    

n  we must approve that reinstatement application; and

    

n  You must pay all unpaid premium.

    

If we approve the reinstatement application, we will reinstate this policy on the approval date. If we issue a prepayment agreement and do not approve or disapprove the reinstatement application within 45 days from the date of the prepayment agreement, we will reinstate this policy on that 45th day.

    

It WILL NOT cover any Injury or Sickness which is excluded by name or description in this policy.

    

Reinstatement of Terminated Policy Due to Disability

    

If You become Disabled and this policy terminates because a premium is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, You may request to reinstate this policy at any time until five months from the policy termination date.

    

In order to reinstate this policy, two requirements must be met. They are:

    

n  You must provide proof that Your Disability occurred prior to the policy termination date; and

    

n  You must pay all unpaid premium.

    

If You meet these requirements, we will reinstate this policy on the policy termination date.

    

The reinstated policy WILL NOT cover any Disability which is excluded by name or description in this policy.

Refund of Premium After Death
