"Sickness" means illness or disease causing Total Disability which begins while your insurance coverage is in effect. Sickness includes pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage or abortion, or any complications therefrom. "Totally Disabled" and "Total Disability" mean, that as a result of an Injury or Sickness: (1) during the Elimination Period and for the first 24 months for which a Monthly Benefit is payable, you cannot perform the material duties of your Regular Occupation; (a) "Partially Disabled" and "Partial Disability" mean that as a result of an Injury or Sickness you are capable of performing the material duties of your Regular Occupation on a part-time basis or some of the material duties on a full-time basis. If you are Partially Disabled you will be considered Totally Disabled, except during the Elimination Period; (b) "Residual Disability" means being Partially Disabled during the Elimination Period. Residual Disability will be considered Total Disability; and (2) after a Monthly Benefit has been paid for 24 months, you cannot perform the material duties of Any Occupation. We consider you Totally Disabled if due to an Injury or Sickness you are capable of only performing the material duties on a part-time basis or part of the material duties on a full-time basis. If you are employed by the Policyholder and require a license for such occupation, the loss of such license for any reason does not in and of itself constitute "Total Disability". "Treatment" means care consistent with the diagnosis of your Injury or Sickness that has its purpose of maximizing your medical improvement. It must be provided by a Physician whose specialty or experience is most appropriate for the Injury or Sickness and conform with generally accepted medical standards to effectively manage and treat your Injury or Sickness.
