BENEFIT PROVISIONS

Cash Deductible
A covered person must pay an out-of-pocket cash deductible for each covered drug each time it is dispensed. This prescription drug deductible must be paid before this plan pays any benefit for that drug. The deductible amount for each prescription or refill is: $10.00 .

After the deductible is paid, we will pay the covered charge in excess of the deductible for each covered drug dispensed while the covered person is insured. Of course, what we pay is subject to all the terms of this plan.

EXTENDED BENEFIT

If a covered person is totally disabled and under a doctor's care when his insurance ends, we will extend his prescription drug expense insurance, in accordance with the Extended Benefits provision under the Major Medical portion of this plan, but not for more than three months. There is no premium charged for the extended prescription drug insurance coverage. But, the covered person will have to pay the cash deductible for each prescription.

If a covered person's insurance ends for any reason, the employer will be liable to us for any benefits paid to such previously covered person after his insurance ends, except as described in the Extended Benefit provision.
