This may include giving you information about external agencies and community - based programs and services. In certain cases of severe or chronic illness or injury, the Plan may provide benefits for alternate care that is not listed as a Covered Service. The Plan may also extend Covered Services beyond the Benefit Maximums of this Plan. We will make any recommendation of alternate or extended benefits to the Plan on a case - by - case basis, if in our discretion the alternate or extended benefit is in the best interest of the you and the Plan and you or your authorized representative agree to the alternate or exte nded benefit in writing. A decision to provide extended benefits or approve alternate care in one case does not obligate the Plan to provide the same benefits again to you or to any other Member. The Plan reserves the right, at any time, to alter or stop providing extended benefits or approving alternate care. In such case, we will notify you or your authorized representative in writing.
