The Insured Person further agrees and understands that the Company requires the Insured Person to complete a subrogation questionnaire, sign an acknowledgment of the Company's subrogation rights and sign an agreement before the Company considers paying, or continues to pay, any claims.

The Insured Person is obligated to inform their legal representative of the Company’s rights and lien and to make no distributions from any settlement or judgment which will in any way result in the Company receiving less than the full amount of its lien without the written approval of the Company. Any amount recovered by the Company in accordance with the foregoing shall first be used to pay in full the costs and expenses of collection incurred by the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and for reimbursement to the Company for any amount that it may have paid or become liable to pay under this insurance. Any remaining amounts recovered shall be paid to the Insured Person or other persons lawfully entitled thereto, as applicable.

TERMINATION OF MASTER POLICY: The Master Policy can be terminated at any time by either the Company or the Assured by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the other and to the Insured Person.

If the Company elects to verify generally and/or preliminarily to a provider or the Insured Person that an Injury, Illness, diagnosis or proposed Treatment is or may be covered under this insurance, or that benefits for same are or may be available as outlined in this Certificate, any such verification of benefits does not guaranty either payment of benefits or the amount or eligibility of benefits.

(a) a refusal to so cooperate

(b) an unreasonable delay in such cooperation

(c) any other act or omission on the part of the Insured Person and/or his/her healthcare providers which hinders, delays, impairs or otherwise prejudices the performance of the Company’s obligations under this insurance.

CLAIM SETTLEMENT:  Eligible and covered claims for Eligible Medical Expenses or other benefits under this insurance that have previously been paid by or on behalf of the Insured Person at the time of the Company’s favorable adjudication thereof will be reimbursed by the Company directly to the Insured Person, by check, at his/her last known residence or mailing address.  While this insurance is in effect, in order to effectuate proper administration, the Insured Person shall undertake to promptly notify the Company of any change in such addresses.  Eligible and covered claims for Eligible Medical Expenses or other benefits under this insurance that have not been paid by or on behalf of the Insured Person at the time of adjudication will be paid by the Company by check or electronic funds transfer to the Insured Person at his/her last known residence or mailing address, or, at the sole option and discretion of the Company (but without obligation to do so), and as an accommodation to the Insured Person, directly to the provider(s), as applicable.  All claim settlements, payments and reimbursements are subject to the insurance plan shown in the Declaration and all other Terms of this insurance.  No healthcare or medical service provider or supplier, or any other third-party, shall have any direct or indirect interest, claim or right of action against the Company under this Certificate, the Declaration or the Master Policy, whether by purported assignment of benefits, subrogation of interests or otherwise, unless first expressly agreed and consented to in writing by the Company, and notwithstanding the Company’s exercise or failure to exercise any option or discretion under this provision regarding the method of claim payment.  No such provider, supplier or other third-party is intended to have or shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary under this Certificate, the Declaration, or the Master Policy.

FRAUDULENT CLAIMS:  A person who knowingly and with intent to defraud the Company files a statement of claim containing any false, incomplete, or misleading information commits a felony.  If any claim or request for benefits under this insurance shall knowingly be in any respect false, incomplete, misleading, concealing, fraudulent or deceitful, or if the Insured Person or anyone acting for or on his/her behalf under this insurance knowingly uses any false, incomplete, misleading, concealing, fraudulent or deceitful statements regarding the Insured Person, the insurance contract and all coverage thereunder may be cancelled, voided, rescinded and terminated by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Company shall have no obligation or liability for any such benefits, coverage or claims.

ARBITRATION:  With the exception of Florida residents’ option to refer to arbitration, no claim for benefits for which liability, eligibility, or coverage under this insurance has been denied in whole or in part by the Company nor any other dispute or controversy arising under or related to this insurance shall be arbitrable or subject to arbitration under any circumstances or for any reason

PATIENT ADVOCACY:  Neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator shall have any right, obligation, or authority of any kind to ultimately select Physicians, Hospitals, or other healthcare or health service providers for the Insured Person or to make any medical Treatment decisions for or on behalf of the Insured Person, and all such decisions shall be made solely and exclusively by the Insured Person and/or his/her guardians, Relatives, treating Physicians and other healthcare providers.  Subject to the foregoing, the Company may determine that a particular claim, benefit, Treatment or diagnosis occurring under or relating to this insurance may be placed under the Company’s “Patient Advocacy” program to ensure that Medically Necessary Treatment and supplies are provided in the most cost-effective manner.  In the event the Company determines that a claim, benefit, Treatment, or diagnosis meets the Company’s Patient Advocacy program guidelines, the Company will notify the Insured Person as soon as reasonably practicable, and a Patient Advocate will be assigned to the Insured Person.  Thereafter, the Company’s Patient Advocate may make evaluations and/or recommendations of Treatment settings, procedures and/or supplies that may be more cost effective for the Company and/or the Insured Person.  Such recommendations will be made with input from the Insured Person and/or the Insured Person's guardians, Relatives, treating Physicians and/or other healthcare providers, and will be made only when it can be reasonably demonstrated that the Medically Necessary Treatment and/or supplies can be provided in a more cost-effective manner to the Company and/or the Insured Person.  The Company will use its best efforts to evaluate and recommend Treatment settings and/or procedures and/or supplies that can reasonably be expected to result in the same or better care of the Insured Person.  The Insured Person is under no obligation to accept or follow any of the Company’s recommendations.  However, if the Insured Person accepts and follows any of the Company's recommendations, the Insured Person agrees to hold the Company and the Company’s agents and representatives, including the Patient Advocate, harmless from same, and the Company shall not be held liable or otherwise responsible for any Treatment or supply provided to the Insured Person except for the payment of claims and benefits eligible for coverage under the Terms of this insurance.  After the Insured Person has been notified that the claim, Treatment, benefit or diagnosis meets the Company’s Patient Advocacy program guidelines, the Company reserves the right, at its option and in its sole discretion without liability:

(a) to make payment for Treatment and/or supplies which, although not expressly covered under this insurance, may be beneficial to the Insured Person and cost effective to the Company; and/or

 (b) to deny coverage and/or benefits for any Charges, including Eligible Medical Expenses otherwise eligible for coverage but for the Terms of this provision, which exceed the amount the Company would have covered had the Insured Person accepted and followed the recommendations of the Patient Advocacy program.

APPEAL PROCESS:  If the Insured Person disagrees with a Pre-certification decision of the Company, the Insured Person may in writing ask the Company to reconsider the decision and may supply additional documentation to support the appeal.  The Company may reconsider its decision based on review of the additional documentation and facts, if any. The Company will advise the Insured Person of its decision within a reasonable time frame following receipt of additional documentation and facts.
