Appeals: If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the claimant has the right to appeal. Appeals must be submitted in writing and include supporting documentation. The plan administrator will conduct a review and issue a written decision within the timeframes established by plan rules. The decision on appeal will include the reason for the decision and the process for further review if available.

Subrogation and Recovery: By accepting benefits under this policy, the insured assigns to the plan any right to recovery against a third party for health care-related expenses for which the plan has paid benefits. The plan retains the right to pursue subrogation or reimbursement to the full extent permitted by law.
