Not Covered
(1) The Association will not provide coverage for any benefit reduction by the primary insurer due to the patient’s failure to comply with the primary insurer’s rules. For example, if the primary insurer requires that hospital admissions be pre-certified, and either assesses a penalty or pays a lower level of benefits because the patient failed to pre-certify an admission, the Association will not provide benefits for the amount of the benefit reduction or penalty. If the primary insurer normally pays 80% of covered charges, but reduces their payment to 65% because of failure to pre-certify, the Association will only pay 20% of the covered charges. The difference between the normal 80% benefit and the 65% paid by the primary insurer will be the patient’s responsibility.
