* Plans F and G also have options called high-deductible Plan F and high-deductible Plan G. These high-deductible plans pay the same benefits as Plan F or Plan G, as applicable, after one has paid a calendar year $2,240 deductible. Benefits from high-deductible Plan F or high-deductible Plan G will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed $2,240. Out-of-pocket expenses for these deductibles are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. These expenses include the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but do not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.
** Plan C, Plan F, and high-deductible Plan F are only available to individuals eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020.
PREMIUM INFORMATION
We (insert insurer's name) can only raise your premium if we raise the premium for all policies like yours in this state. (If the premium is based on the increasing age of the insured, include information specifying when premiums will change).
DISCLOSURES
Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies, certificates, and contracts.
This outline shows benefits and premiums of policies sold for effective dates on or after June 1, 2010. Policies sold for effective dates before June 1, 2010 have different benefits and premiums. Plans E, H, I, and J are no longer available for sale. (This sentence must not appear after June 1, 2011.)
READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY
This is only an outline describing your policy's most important features. The policy is your insurance contract. You must read the policy itself to understand all of the rights and duties of both you and your insurance company.
RIGHT TO RETURN POLICY
If you find that you are not satisfied with your policy, you may return it to (insert insurer's address). If you send the policy back to us within 30 days after you receive it, we will treat the policy as if it had never been issued and return all of your payments.
POLICY REPLACEMENT
If you are replacing another health insurance policy, do not cancel it until you have actually received your new policy and are sure you want to keep it.
NOTICE
This policy may not fully cover all of your medical costs.
[For agent issued policies]
Neither (insert insurer's name) nor its agents are connected with Medicare.
[For direct response issued policies]
(Insert insurer's name) is not connected with Medicare.
This outline of coverage does not give all the details of Medicare coverage. Contact your local social security office or consult “The Medicare Handbook” for more details.
COMPLETE ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
When you fill out the application for the new policy, be sure to answer truthfully and completely all questions about your medical and health history. The company may cancel your policy and refuse to pay any claims if you leave out or falsify important medical information. [If the policy or certificate is guaranteed issue, this paragraph need not appear.]
Review the application carefully before you sign it. Be certain that all information has been properly recorded.
[Include for each plan offered by the insurer a chart showing the services, Medicare payments, plan payments, and insured payments using the same language, in the same order, and using uniform layout and format as shown in the charts that follow. An insurer may use additional benefit plan designations on these charts under section 3809(1)(k). Include an explanation of any innovative benefits on the cover page and in the chart, in a manner approved by the director. The insurer issuing the policy shall change the dollar amounts each year to reflect current figures. No more than 4 plans may be shown on 1 chart.] Charts for each plan are as follows:
