Important information about claims
You have 90 days from the date of your loss to submit your claim to us . Failure to furnish such proof within the time required shall not invalidate or reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible and in no event, except in the absence of legal capacity, later than one (1) year from the time proof is otherwise required.
The following provision is added to the section entitled Claims Information :
Time of Payment of Claim
All benefits payable under this certificate, for any loss will be paid within 25 days after receipt of due written proof of such loss in the form of a clean claim where claims are submitted electronically, and within 35 days after where claims are submitted in paper format. We will pay the appropriate benefit in full, or any portion of the claim that is clean, and notify you of the reasons why the claim or portion thereof is not clean and will not be paid and what substantiating documentation and information is required to adjudicate the claim as clean. Any claim or portion thereof resubmitted with the supporting documentation and information requested by us shall be paid within twenty (20) days after receipt.
A "clean claim" means a claim received by us for adjudication and which requires no further information, adjustment or alteration by you in order to be processed and paid by us . A claim is clean if it has no defect or impropriety, including any lack of substantiating documentation, or particular circumstance requiring special treatment that prevents timely payment from being made on the claim under this provision. A clean claim includes resubmitted claims with previously identified deficiencies corrected.
A clean claim does not include any of the following:
• A duplicate claim, which means an original claim and its duplicate when the duplicate is filed within 30 days of the original claim;
• Claims which are submitted fraudulently or that are based upon material misrepresentations; or
• Claims that require information essential for us to administer existing medical condition, coordination of benefits or subrogation provisions.
Benefits due under the certificate and claims are overdue if not paid within the applicable time frame. If the claim is not denied for valid and proper reasons by the end of the applicable time period, we must pay you interest on accrued benefits at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) per month accruing from the day after payment was due on the amount of the benefits that remain unpaid until the claim is finally settled or adjudicated.
If we fail to pay benefits when due, the person entitled to such benefits may bring action to recover such benefits, any interest which may accrue as provided above and any other damages as may be allowable by law.
The provision entitled Maximum Coverage is amended so that the maximum coverage limit does not apply to the Flight Accident or Travel Accident benefits.
The provision entitled Medical examinations and autopsy is amended to read:
Medical examinations
We have the right to have you medically examined as reasonably necessary to make a decision about your medical claim. We will cover the cost of these medical examinations.
The provision entitled Subrogation is amended to read:
Subrogation
When someone is responsible for your loss, we have the right to recover any payments we've made to you or someone else in relation to your claim, as permitted by law.
