(22) 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 their 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
nq
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,
rI
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, procedures
Fo
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 that, although not expressly covered under this insurance, may be
beneficial to the Insured Person and cost-effective to the Company
(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.
y
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.
nl
For all other overpayments, the amount of the refund and recovery shall be the amount overpaid.
O
If the Insured 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
es
this insurance, to the full extent of the refund due to the Company; and/or
rp E
(ii) cancel this Certificate and all further coverage of the Insured Person under the Master Policy by giving thirty
Pu PL
(30) days advance written notice by mail to the Insured Person at their last known residence or mailing address
(24) EXPLANATION OR VERIFICATION OF BENEFITS: In the event of any verbal or telephone inquiry, every attempt will be
ry M
made to help the Insured Person and their healthcare providers and suppliers understand the status, scope and extent of
available benefits and coverage under this insurance, provided, however, that no statement made by any agent, employee
ui A
or representative of the Company or the Plan Administrator will be deemed or construed as an actionable representation,
promise or estoppel or will create any liability against the Company or the Plan Administrator or be deemed or construed to
bind the Company or to modify, replace, waive, extend or amend any of the Terms of the Master Policy or this Certificate,
S
unless expressly set forth in writing and signed by an authorized agent or representative of the Company. Actual eligibility
determinations, benefit verifications, final coverage decisions, claim adjudications, final payments, reimbursements of
benefits, or claims shall be determined and adjudicated only after or at the time a proper and complete Application and/or
Proof of Claim is submitted (as the case may be), an opportunity for reasonable investigation and/or review is provided,
cooperation required hereunder received, and all facts and supporting information, including relevant data, information and
medical records when deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, are presented in writing. Appealed claims may
be further investigated and/or reviewed. The Terms of the Master Policy govern all available coverage and payments made
or to be made. If a definite answer to a specific benefits or coverage question is required for any reason, the Insured Person
nq
or their healthcare providers may submit a written request to the Company, including all pertinent medical information and
a statement from the attending Physician (if applicable), and a written reply will be sent by the Company and kept on file. If
the Company elects to verify generally and/or preliminarily to a provider or the Insured Person that an Injury, Illness,
rI
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. Final eligibility determinations, coverage decisions, claim appeals and actual reimbursement

or payment of claims or benefits are subject to all Terms of this insurance, including without limitation filing a proper and
complete Proof of Claim and complying with the CONDITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS, COOPERATION provision.
