How do my benefits work?
Benefits are payable under the Policy after a Covered Person incurs charges for Eligible Expenses in excess of any applicable Additional Deductible, and then the Plan Deductible or Copayment, unless otherwise specified. Benefits will be paid at the Coinsurance amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits. Once the Out of Pocket Maximum amount is reached, the Coinsurance amount for the remainder of the Coverage Period is 100%. All benefits payable are subject to the Coverage Period Maximum Benefit. Your Schedule of Benefits shows Your Plan Deductible, Additional Deductibles, Copayment, Coinsurance amount, Out of Pocket Maximum amount and Coverage Period Maximum Benefit. Reimbursement is also subject to any benefit limitations shown in the Schedule of Benefits.
What is a Plan Deductible?
The Plan Deductible is the amount of Eligible Expenses a Covered Person must incur during a Coverage Period before We pay benefits.
What is a Family Deductible Maximum?
Once 3 family members have met their respective Plan Deductible in a Coverage Period, no further Plan Deductible will be required for the remainder of the Coverage Period. The Family Deductible Maximum does not apply to any additional Deductibles.
Type of Deductibles included in this plan:
Outpatient Surgery Deductible – An additional deductible that must be satisfied for Charges incurred for surgery performed in an Outpatient Surgical Facility. There is a maximum of 3 Deductibles per Covered Person per Coverage Period. Surgeries in excess of the maximum number of outpatient surgery deductibles will be subject to the Plan Deductible and Coinsurance.
Emergency Room Deductible – An additional deductible must be paid for Charges incurred for use of an emergency room in the event of Sickness or Injury. The Deductible is waived if the Covered Person is directly admitted as an Inpatient for further treatment after which the Plan Deductible and Coinsurance will apply.
Advanced Diagnostic Studies Deductible – An additional deductible must be satisfied for each day Charges are incurred in a non-Hospital setting for Advanced Diagnostic Studies, including PET, MRI and CAT scans after which the Plan Deductible and Coinsurance will apply.
Does the plan require Pre-Certification?
All Inpatient hospitalizations and procedures done at an Outpatient Surgery Facility must be pre-certified. LifeShield National Insurance Co.'s professional review organization must be contacted as soon as possible before the expense is to be incurred. If the Covered Person does not comply with the Pre-certification requirements as stated in the insurance certificate, the Eligible Medical Expenses will be reduced by 50%.
How does Usual and Customary Fees affect my benefits?
The Policy defines Usual and Customary Fees as the usual, fair and reasonable fee for medical treatment provided to a Covered Person (or any other form of medical care, procedure, drug or supply).
In determining a Usual and Customary Fee, the Company at its discretion, consults:
All benefits are limited to Usual and Customary Fees. Usual and Customary Fee definition may vary by state.
What if members change their minds after the purchase of LifeShield Advantage STM coverage?
If not 100% satisfied with coverage and members have not already used any of the insurance benefits, they may return the certification to us within 10 days of receipt. Coverage will be cancelled as of the effective date and the plan cost will be returned. No questions asked!
What is the Pre-Existing Conditions Limitation?
Charges resulting directly or indirectly from a condition for which a Covered Person received medical treatment, diagnosis, care or advice within the 60* month period immediately preceding such person's Certificate Effective Date. A Pre-Existing condition includes conditions that produced any symptoms which would have caused a reasonable prudent person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment within the 60* month period.

Once the Out of Pocket Maximum is met, the Policy will begin paying 100% of allowable Usual and Customary costs for the remainder of the Coverage Period, not to exceed Coverage Period Maximum Benefit and any applicable benefit limits.
