(a) coverage has been elected; and
(b) the required premium has been paid.

Trip Cancellation coverage will take effect at 12:01 A.M. local time at Your location, on the day after the required premium for such coverage is received by the Company or its authorized representative.

Your coverage will end at 11:59 P.M. local time on the date that is the earliest of the following:
(a) the Scheduled Return Date as stated on Your Confirmation of Coverage;
(b) the date You return to Your origination point if prior to the Scheduled Return Date;
(c) the date You leave or change Your Covered Trip (unless due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances covered by the Policy);

Extension of Coverage: All coverage (except Trip Cancellation) under the Policy will be extended, if:

This extension of coverage will end on the earlier of:

In no event will coverage be extended for unscheduled extensions to Your Covered Trip (other than noted above) for which premium has not been paid in advance.

ARBITRATION
Notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, any claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or its breach, will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Uniform Arbitration Act (710 ILCS 5/1 et seq.) except to the extent provided otherwise in this clause. Judgment upon the award rendered in such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally. However, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs. The arbitrators are precluded from awarding punitive, treble or exemplary damages, however so denominated. If more than one Insured is involved in the same dispute arising out of the same Policy and relating to the same Loss or claim, all such Insureds will constitute and act as one party for the purposes of the arbitration. Such arbitration will be voluntary, will be by mutual consent by all parties, and may be binding upon all parties or non-binding on the Insured. Nothing in this clause will be construed to impair the rights of the Insureds to assert several, rather than joint, claims or defenses.

LEGAL ACTIONS
No legal action for a claim can be brought against the Company until sixty (60) days after the Company receives proof of Loss. No legal action for a claim can be brought against the Company more than two (2) years after the time required for giving proof of Loss.

CONTROLLING LAW
Any part of the Policy that conflicts with the state law where the Policy is issued is changed to meet the minimum requirements of that law.

SUBROGATION
To the extent the Company pays for a Loss suffered by You, the Company will take over the rights and remedies You had relating to the Loss. This is known as subrogation. You must help the Company to preserve its rights against those responsible for the Loss. This may involve signing any papers and taking any other steps the Company may reasonably require. If the Company takes over Your rights, You must sign an appropriate subrogation form supplied by the Company.

The following provisions will apply to Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption, Trip Delay and Accidental Death &  Dismemberment:

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
The Company, or its designated representative, will pay a claim after receipt of acceptable proof of Loss. Benefits for Loss of life are payable to Your beneficiary. If a beneficiary is not otherwise designated by You, benefits for Loss of life will be paid to the first of the following surviving preference beneficiaries:

(b) Your child or children jointly;
(c) Your parents jointly if both are living or the surviving parent if only one survives;
(d) Your brothers and sisters jointly; or
(e) Your estate.

All other claims will be paid to You.

All or a portion of all other benefits provided by the Policy may, at the option of the Company, be paid directly to the provider of the service(s). All benefits not paid to the provider will be paid to You. Any payment made in good faith will discharge the Company ’s liability to the extent of the claim. The applicable benefit amount will be reduced by the amount of benefits, if any, previously paid by other Insurance Policies. In no event will the Company reimburse You for an amount greater than the amount paid by You.

NOTICE OF CLAIM
Written notice of claim must be given by the Claimant (either You or someone acting for You) to the Company or its designated representative within twenty (20) days after a covered Loss first begins, or as soon as reasonably possible. Notice should include Your name, and be sent to the Company ’s administrative office at: Nationwide Claims Administration; Seven Corners; 303 Congressional Blvd. Carmel, IN 46302

PROOF OF LOSS
The Claimant must send the Company, or its designated representative, proof of Loss within ninety (90) days after a covered Loss occurs, or as soon as reasonably possible.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND AUTOPSY
The Company, or its designated representative, at their own expense, have the right to have You examined as often as reasonably necessary while a claim is pending. The Company, or its designated representative, also has the right to have an autopsy made unless prohibited by law.

TIME OF PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
Benefits payable under this Policy for any Loss other than Loss for which this Policy provides any periodic payment will be paid immediately upon receipt of due written proof of such Loss. Subject to due written proof of Loss, all accrued indemnities for Loss for which this Policy provides periodic payment will be paid monthly and any balance remaining unpaid upon the termination of liability, will be paid immediately upon receipt of due written proof.

All claims shall be paid within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of due proof of Loss. Failure to pay within such period shall entitle the claimant to interest at the rate of nine (9) percent per annum from the 30th day after receipt of such proof of Loss to the date of late payment, provided that interest amounting to less than one dollar need not be paid. You or Your assignee shall be notified by the Company or designated representative of any known failure to provide sufficient documentation for a due proof of Loss within thirty (30) days after receipt of the claim.

PROOF OF LOSS
You must furnish the Company, or its designated representative, with proof of Loss. This must be a detailed sworn statement. It must be filed with the Company, or its designated representative within ninety (90) days from the date of Loss. Failure to comply with these conditions shall invalidate any claims under the Policy.

SETTLEMENT OF LOSS
Claims for damage and/or destruction shall be paid after acceptable proof of the damage and/or destruction is presented to the Company and the Company has determined the claim is covered. Claims for lost property will be paid after the lapse of a reasonable time if the property has not been recovered. You must present acceptable proof of Loss and the value involved to the Company.

VALUATION
The Company will not pay more than the Actual Cash Value of the property at the time of Loss. Damage will be estimated according to Actual Cash Value with proper deduction for depreciation as determined by the Company. At no time will payment exceed what it would cost to repair or replace the property with material of like kind and quality.

DISAGREEMENT OVER SIZE OF LOSS
If there is a disagreement about the amount of the Loss either You or the Company can make a written demand for an appraisal. After the demand, You and the Company will each select Your own competent appraiser. After examining the facts, each of the two appraisers will give an opinion on the amount of the Loss. If they do not agree, they will select an arbitrator. Any figure agreed to by two (2) of the three (3) (the appraisers and the arbitrator) will be binding. The appraiser selected by You is paid by You. The Company will pay the appraiser they choose. You will share equally with the Company the cost for the arbitrator and the appraisal process.

COORDINATION OF BENEFITS

Applicability
The Coordination of Benefits ("COB") provision applies to This Plan when You have health care coverage under more than one Plan. "Plan" and "This Plan" are defined below.

If this COB provision applies, the order of benefit determination rules should be looked at first. Those rules determine whether the benefits of This Plan are determined before or after those of another Plan.

The benefits of This Plan:
(a) will not be reduced when, under the order of benefit determination rules, This Plan determines its benefits before another Plan; but
(b) may be reduced when, under the order of benefit determination rules, another Plan determines its benefits first. This reduction is described further in the section entitled Effect on the Benefits of This Plan.

Definitions
Plan is a form of written on an expense incurred basis that provides benefits or services for, or because of, medical or dental care or treatment. "Plan" includes:
(a) group insurance and group remittance subscriber contracts;
(b) uninsured arrangements of group coverage;
(c) group coverage through HMO ’s and other prepayment, group practice and individual practice Plans; and
(d) blanket contracts, except blanket school accident coverages or a similar group when the Policyholder pays the premium.

"Plan" does not include individual or family:
(a) insurance contracts;
(b) direct payment subscriber contracts;
(c) coverage through HMO ’s; or (d) coverage under other prepayment, group practice and individual practice Plans.

This Plan is the parts of this blanket contract that provide benefits for health care expenses on an expense incurred basis.

Primary Plan
is one whose benefits for a person ’s health care coverage must be determined without taking the existence of any other Plan into consideration. A Plan is a Primary Plan if either:
(a) the Plan either has no order of benefit determination rules, or it has rules that differ from those in the contract; or
(b) all Plans that cover the person use the same order of benefits determination rules as in this contract, and under those rules the Plan determines its benefits first.

Secondary Plan is one that is not a Primary Plan. If a person is covered by more than one Secondary Plan, the order of benefit determination rules of this contract decide the order in which their benefits are determined in relation to each other. The benefits of each Secondary Plan may take into consideration the benefits of the Primary Plan or Plans and the benefits of any other Plan which, under the rules of this contract, has its benefits determined before those of that Secondary Plan.

Allowable Expense is the necessary, reasonable, and customary item of expense for health care; when the item of expense is covered at least in part under any of the Plans involved.

The difference between the cost of a private Hospital room and a semi-private Hospital room is not considered an Allowable Expense under the above definition unless the patient ’s stay in a private Hospital room is medically necessary in terms of generally accepted medical practice.

When a Plan provides benefits in the form of services, the reasonable cash value of each service will be considered both an Allowable Expense and a benefit paid.

Claim is a request that benefits of a Plan be provided or paid. The benefits claimed may be in the form of:
(a) services (including supplies);
(b) payment for all or a portion of the expenses incurred; or
(c) a combination of (a) and (b).

Claim Determination Period is the period of time, which must not be less than 12 consecutive months, over which Allowable Expenses are compared with total benefits payable in the absence of COB, to determine:
(a) whether overinsurance exists; and
(b) how much each Plan will pay or provide.

For the purposes of this contract, Claim Determination Period is the period of time beginning with the effective date of coverage and ending 12 consecutive months following the date of loss or longer as may be determined by the proof of loss provision.

Order of Benefit Determination Rules

When This Plan is a Primary Plan, its benefits are determined before those of any other Plan and without considering another Plan ’s benefits.

When This Plan is a Secondary Plan, its benefits are determined after those of any other Plan only when, under these rules, it is secondary to that other Plan .

When there is a basis for a Claim under This Plan and another Plan, This Plan is a Secondary Plan that has its benefits determined after those of the other Plan, unless:
(a) the other Plan has rules coordinating its benefits with those of This Plan; and
(b) both those rules and This Plan ’s rules, as described below, require that This Plan ’s benefits be determined before those of the other Plan.

Rules
This Plan determines its order of benefits using the first of the following rules which applies:
(a) Nondependent/Dependent Rule. The benefits of the Plan that covers the person as an employee, member or subscriber (that is, other than as a dependent) are determined before those of the Plan that covers the person as a dependent.
(b) Longer/Shorter Length of Coverage Rule. The benefits of the Plan that covered an employee, member or subscriber longer are determined before those of the Plan that covered that person for the shorter time.

To determine the length of time a person has been covered under a Plan, two Plans shall be treated as one if the claimant was eligible under the second within 24 hours after the first ended. Thus, the start of a new
Plan does not include:
(a) a change in the amount or scope of a Plan ’s benefits; (b) a change in the entity which pays, provides or administers the Plan ’s benefits; or (c) a change from one type of Plan to another. The claimant ’s length of time covered under a Plan is measured from the claimant ’s first date of coverage under that Plan. If that date is not readily available, the date the claimant first became a member of the group shall be used as the date from which to determine the length of time the claimant ’s coverage under the present Plan has been in force.

Effect on the Benefits of This Plan When it is Secondary
The benefits of This Plan will be reduced when it is a Secondary Plan so that the total benefits paid or provided by all Plans during a Claim Determination Period are not more than the total Allowable Expenses, not otherwise paid, which were incurred during the Claim Determination Period by the person for whom the Claim is made. As each Claim is submitted, This Plan determines its obligation to pay for Allowable Expenses based on all Claims that were submitted up to that point in time during the Claim Determination Period.

Right to Receive and Release Needed Information
Certain facts are needed to apply these COB rules. The Company has the right to decide which facts are needed. The Company may get needed facts from or give them to any other organization or person. The Company need not tell, or get the consent of, any person to do this. Each person claiming benefits under This Plan must give the Company any facts we need to pay the Claim.

Facility of Payment
A payment made under another Plan may include an amount that should have been paid under This Plan. If it does, the Company may pay that amount to the organization that made that payment. That amount will then be treated as though it were a benefit paid under This Plan. The Company will not have to pay that amount again. The term "payment made" includes providing benefits in the form of services, in which case "payment made" means reasonable monetary value of the benefits provided in the form of services.

Right of Recovery
If the amount of the payments made by the Company is more than the Company should have paid under this COB provision, the Company may recover the excess from one or more of: (a) the persons we have paid or for whom we have paid; (b) insurance companies; or (c) other organizations.

Non-complying Plans
This Plan may coordinate its benefits with a Plan that is excess or always secondary or which uses order of benefit determination rules which are inconsistent with those of This Plan (non-complying Plan) on the following basis:

(a) If This Plan is the Primary Plan, This Plan will pay its benefits on a primary basis;
(b) if This Plan is the Secondary Plan, This Plan will pay its benefits first, but the amount of the benefits payable will be determined as if This Plan were the Secondary Plan. In this situation, our payment will be the limit of This Plan ’s liability; and
(c) if the non-complying Plan does not provide the information needed by This Plan to determine its benefits within 30 days after it is requested to do so, the Company will assume that the benefits of the non-complying Plan are identical to This Plan and will pay benefits accordingly. However, the Company will adjust any payments made based on this assumption whenever information becomes available as to the actual benefits of the non-complying Plan.
