COVERED MEDICAL BENEFITS This Plan provides coverage for the following covered benefits if services are authorized by a Physician or other Qualified Provider, if applicable, and are necessary for the treatment of an Illness or Injury, subject to any limits, maximums, exclusions, or other Plan provisions shown in this SPD. The Plan does not provide coverage for services if medical evidence shows that treatment is not expected to resolve, improve, or stabilize the Covered Person’s condition, or if a plateau has been reached in terms of improvement from such services. In addition, any diagnosis change for a covered benefit after a payment denial will not be considered for benefits unless the Plan is provided with all pertinent records along with the request for change that justifies the revised diagnosis. Such records must include the history and initial assessment and must reflect the criteria listed in the most recent International Classification of Diseases (ICD) or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) for the new diagnosis, or, if in a foreign country, must meet diagnostic criteria established and commonly recognized by the medical community in that region. Important: Prior authorization may be required before benefits will be considered for payment. Failure to obtain prior authorization may result in a penalty or increased out-of-pocket costs. Refer to the UMR CARE section of this SPD for a description of these services and prior authorization procedures. 1. 3D Mammograms, for the diagnosis and treatment of a covered medical benefit or for preventive screenings as described under the Preventive / Routine Care benefits. 2. Abortions: If a Physician states in writing that the mother’s life would be in danger if the fetus were to be carried to term or if the pregnancy was the result of incest or rape. 3. Allergy Treatment, including injections and sublingual drops, testing and serum. 4. Ambulance Transportation: • Emergency Ambulance Transportation by a licensed ambulance service (ground or air) to an appropriate Hospital where the required Emergency health care services can be performed. • Non-Emergency Medically Necessary ground and air transportation by a vehicle designed, equipped, and used only to transport the sick and injured to the nearest medically appropriate Hospital. Medically Necessary Ambulance Transportation does not include, and this Plan will not cover, transportation that is primarily for repatriation (e.g., to return the patient to the United States) or transfer to another facility, unless appropriate medical care is not available at the facility currently treating the patient and transport is to the nearest facility able to provide appropriate medical care. 5.

Coverage does not include services or treatment identified elsewhere in the Plan as non-covered or excluded (such as Experimental, Investigational, or Unproven treatment, custodial care, nutritional or dietary supplements, or educational services that should be provided through a school district). 8.
