If the Company elects to verify generally and/or preliminarily to a provider or the Covered Person that an Injury, Sickness, 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 of Coverage, any such verification of benefits does not guaranty either payment of benefits or the amount or eligibility of benefits.

If a benefit due is payable to: 1.the Covered Person’s estate; or 2. the Covered Person or a beneficiary who is either a minor or is not competent to give a valid release for the payment, We may pay any amount due to some other person. The other person will be one who we believe is entitled to the payment and who is related to the Covered Person or the beneficiary by blood or marriage. We will be relieved of further responsibility to the extent of any payment made in good faith. We may pay benefits directly to any Hospital or person rendering covered services unless the Covered Person requests otherwise in writing. The Covered Person must make the request no later than the time he or she files a written Proof of Claim.

The Company shall have the right to receive a refund and to recover the amount of overpayment from the Covered Person and/or the Hospital, Physician and/or other provider of services or supplies (as the case may be). The amount of the refund and recovery for overpayment of claims shall be the difference between the amount actually paid by the Company and the amount, if any, that should have been paid by the Company under the Terms of this insurance. For all other overpayments, the amount of the refund and recovery shall be the amount overpaid. If the Covered Person, Hospital, Physician, or other provider of services or supplies does not promptly make any such refund to the Company, the Company may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it (all of which are reserved): (i) reduce or deduct from the amount of any future claim that is otherwise eligible for coverage or payment under this insurance, to the full extent of the refund due to the Company; and/or (ii) cancel this Certificate of Coverage and all further coverage of the Covered by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice by mail to the Covered Person at their last known residence or mailing address and offset against the amount of any refund of Premium due the Covered Person to the full extent of the refund due to the Company.

ASSIGNMENT, CHANGE OR WAIVER: Notwithstanding any law, statute, judicial decision or rule to the contrary that may be or may purport to be otherwise applicable within the jurisdiction, locale or forum state of any healthcare or medical service provider, no transfer or assignment of any of the Covered Person's rights, benefits or interests under this insurance shall be valid, binding on or enforceable against the Company or Plan Administrator unless first expressly agreed and consented to in writing by the
Company.

If the Insured is a minor, his or her parent or guardian may exercise this right for him or her. The change will be effective when We or Our authorized agent receive it. When received, the effective date is the date the notice was signed. We are not liable for any payments made before the change was received. We cannot attest to the validity of a change. The Insured is the beneficiary for any covered Dependent.

INSOLVENCY: The insolvency, bankruptcy, financial impairment, receivership, voluntary plan of arrangement with creditors or dissolution of the Assured or any Covered Person shall not impose upon the Company any liability or obligation other than that specifically included in this insurance.

SUBROGATION CLAUSE: The Covered Person shall undertake to pursue in their own name and stead, and to fully cooperate with the Company in the pursuit and prosecution of, any and all valid claims that the Covered Person may have against any third-party who may be liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising out of any act, omission or occurrence that results or may result in a loss payment, provision of benefits or coverage of claim by the Company under this insurance and to fully account to the Company for any amounts recovered or recoverable in connection therewith, on the basis that the Company shall be reimbursed and entitled to recover first in full for any sums paid or to be paid by it before the Covered Person shares in any amount so recovered, regardless of whether or not the Covered Person has been made whole or has been fully compensated for their injuries. The Covered Person further agrees and understands that the Company requires the Covered 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. Should the Covered Person fail to so cooperate, account or prosecute any valid claims against any such third-party or parties, and the Company thereupon or otherwise becomes liable or otherwise obligated to make payment under the Terms of this insurance, then the Company shall be fully subrogated to all rights and interests of the Covered Person with respect thereto and may prosecute such claims in its own name as subrogee. The Covered Person’s submission of Proof of Claim or acceptance of coverage or benefits under this insurance shall be deemed to constitute an authorization, consent, and assignment of such subrogation rights by the Covered Person to the Company. The Covered Person agrees that the Company has a secured proprietary interest in any settlement proceeds the Covered Person receives or may be entitled to receive. The Covered Person understands and agrees that the Company is entitled to a constructive trust interest in the proceeds of any settlement or recovery. The Covered Person agrees to include the Company as a co-payee on any settlement check or check from any third party or insurer. The Covered Person agrees he/she will not release any party or their insured without prior written approval from the Company and will take no action that prejudices the Company's rights. The Covered 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 that 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 Covered Person or other persons lawfully entitled thereto, as applicable. In the event that the Covered Person receives any form or type of settlement and either fails or refuses to abide by the Terms of this insurance contract, in addition to any other remedies the Company may have, the Company retains a right of equitable offset against future claims.

OTHER INSURANCE: The Company shall not be liable or obligated to provide any coverage or benefits or to pay or reimburse any claim under this insurance if there is any other insurance, membership benefit, workers’ or workplace compensation coverage program or other government programs, reimbursement or indemnification coverage, right of contribution, recoupment or recovery, contract, or any other third- party obligation or liability for provision of benefits (“Other Coverage”) that would, or would but for the existence of this insurance, be available or obligated to provide such benefit or to pay or reimburse or provide indemnity for such claim, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount payable or provided under such Other Coverage had this insurance not been effected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable or obligated to provide any benefit or to pay or reimburse any claim for any Covered Person in respect to Treatment or supplies furnished by any program or agency funded by any government or governmental authority.
The Company reserves the right to cancel any and all coverage if it is determined a Covered Person has Stacked Insurance.

We will pay the cost of the examination or autopsy.
