Outline of Coverage
Page [4] of [9]
A Current Eligibility Certification is a written certification by a Licensed Health Care Practitioner, who is not a member of Your
Immediate Family, that You meet the above requirements for being Chronically Ill. The certification must be renewed and
submitted to Us every 12 months.
Elimination Period means the length of time, as determined in the Schedule, before You are eligible for Benefits under the
Policy. The Schedule describes how the Elimination Period is satisfied and whether it is based on calendar days or days on
which You receive Covered Care. Days used to satisfy the Elimination Period do not need to be consecutive; and can be
accumulated over time. Once satisfied, You will never have to satisfy a new Elimination Period for Your Coverage.
Nursing Facility Maximum means the maximum amount We will pay for Confinement in a Nursing Facility. This may be a
daily maximum or a monthly maximum. This amount is also used to determine other Benefit maximums.
Qualified Long Term Care Services means necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, and
rehabilitative services and maintenance or personal care services which: (1) are required by a Chronically Ill Individual; and
(2) are provided pursuant to a Plan of Care prescribed by a Licensed Health Care Practitioner.
OTHER FEATURES AND OPTIONS
Options are available for an additional Premium)
Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit: This Benefit provides for the continuation of the Policy if the Policy ends due to non-
payment of Premium after it has been in force for at least three years. Any Benefit Increases will continue; but the Coverage
Maximum will be reduced to the greater of: (a) the sum of all Premium paid (and not waived under the Waiver of Premium
Benefit) for the Policy; or (b) the amount equal to one month (30 days) of benefits under the Nursing Facility Benefit in
effect at the time of lapse when the Policy has been in force for at least 3 years, or (c) the amount equal to 3 months (90
days) of benefits under the Nursing Facility Benefit in effect at the time of lapse when the Policy has been in force for at
least 10 consecutive years. In no event will this amount exceed the unused Coverage Maximum at the time the Policy ends.
[Optional Shared Coverage Rider: When both You and Your Spouse or Partner named in the Policy’s Schedule, have
identical policies, if one person exhausts Benefits under his or her Policy, he or she can continue coverage under the other
person’s Policy. For purposes of this Rider, identical means that both Policies must have the same Shared Coverage Rider
form with the same plans, Benefit levels and Benefit options. We guarantee that sharing coverage will not reduce a person’s
coverage below 50% of its original Coverage Maximum. In addition, upon the death of one person: the survivor’s available
Coverage Maximum will be the total Coverage Maximum available to both persons at the time of death, considering all Claim
payments; and Rider Premium ceases. When the Shared Coverage Rider includes Joint Waiver of Premium, Premium for the
policies of both persons will be waived when one person qualifies for the Waiver of Premium Benefit.]
[Optional] [Waiver of Home and Community Care Elimination Period: This provides that there is no Elimination
Period for the Home and Community Care Benefit; and each day of Covered Care under that Benefit will count towards
satisfying the Elimination Period.]
