____________________________________________________________________________________________

The Details. . . The Ponta, Castle & Ingram Agency is pleased to advise that they have arranged for Federal InsuranceCompany, a member insurer of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies to make Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance available to eligible AACT member groups.  This coverage provides all eligible member volunteers protection while participating in the various theatre activities and offers them the security they need and deserve.
 

When Does Coverage Apply?

Eligible member volunteers are covered while participating in activities sponsored by either the member theatre organization or by the AACT.  This includes both practices and performances.

Who is Covered?

Eligible persons include unpaid member volunteers and unpaid staff volunteers

What is the Difference Between Primary Medical Expenses & Excess Medical Expense Option?

The PRIMARY option pays covered expenses regardless of most other plans.  Other plans however, may reduce their payments based on what this option pays.  The EXCESS option does not pay covered expenses to the extent they are collectible under most other plans. Therefore, the company needs to know what other insurance pays before it will pay.  If there is no other coverage, excess will pay the same as primary.  Excess essentially "fills in" other plan's deductibles and coinsurance as well as pays remaining covered expenses after others have exhausted their benefits.

NOTE:    Primary Medical Expense Coverage is not available on Plans 3, 4 and 5.

What is Not Covered?

In addition to the coverage specific exclusions listed under the HERE ARE THE BENEFITS Section, this coverage does not apply to:  loss occuring while an insured is in any aircraft while acting or training as a pilot or crew member; loss caused by or resulting from an Insured's emotional trauma, mental or physical illness, disease, pregnancy, childbirth or miscarriage, bacterial or viral infection or bodily malfunctions; suicide, attempted suicide or loss that is intentionally self-inflicted; loss caused by or resulting from a declared or undeclared.

Who Receives the Benefits?

Benefit for Loss of Life is payable to the first surviving, in the following order;  a) spouse; b) children; c) parents; d) siblings; e) Insured Person's estate.

All other benefits payable under this policy are payable to the Insured.

The PRIMARY option pays first.  It pays covered expenses regardless of what other health insurance
plans the injured party may have.  The EXCESS option will pay only after other plans pay first.  If the
injured person has no other medical coverage plan, your excess coverage will automatically become
primary coverage for that person.  Excess offers greater flexibility by filling in other plan's deductibles
and coinsurance as well as paying remaining covered expenses after other plans have exhausted their
benefits.

  DETAILS ABOUT THE BENEFITS:

ACCIDENTAL DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT - If accidental bodily injuries result in any of the following losses within one year after the date of the accident, the plan provides the following benefits:

The company will pay 100% of the AD & D benefit amount if there is Accidental Loss of: life, both hands, or both feet, one hand and one foot, the entire sight of both eyes, speech and hearing, or the entire sight of one eye and one hand.

The company will pay 75% of the AD & D benefit amount if there is Accidental loss of: One hand or one foot, the entire loss of sight of one eye, or loss of speech or hearing.

The company will pay 25% of the AD & D benefit amount if there is Accidental Loss of the thumb and index finger.

The term "Loss" means, with respect to a hand, complete severance through or above the knuckle joints of at least 4 fingers on the same hand; with respect to a foot, complete severance through or above the ankle joint.  The Company will consider it a loss of hand or foot even if they are later reattached.  Only one amount, the largest to which you are entitled, is paid for all losses resulting from one accident.

MEDICAL EXPENSE -  If as a result of an accidental bodily injury, the insured incurs medically necessary expenses from medical services, the company will pay the reasonable and customary charges for those expenses up to the maximum benefit amount subject to any specified deductible amounts and in *excess of other benefits if applicable. Medically necessary means any medical or dental service, supply or course of treatment which is ordered by a licensed physician or dentist. Medical services means the cost for the following medically necessary services:  medical care and treatment by a physician or dentist, diagnostic test and x-rays, use of a professional ambulance, and dental care to injury of functional, natural teeth.  The medical expense benefit does not apply to the following charges and services: (1) charges for which the Insured has no obligation to pay, (2) eyeglasses, contact lenses and other vision or hearing aids and artificial limbs, (3) any injury for which Worker's Compensation benefits or occupational injury benefits are payable.

*If the coverage is payable on an excess basis, the company will determine the reasonable and customary charges for the covered medical expense.  The company will then reduce that amount by amounts already paid or payable by any other plan from which the Insured is entitled to receive benefits.  The company will pay the resulting amount, plus amounts paid by the insured to satisfy cash deductibles or coinsurance amounts.  In no event will the company pay more than the specified medical expense benefit amount.

IN-HOSPITAL BENEFIT - If an accidental bodily injury causes an Insured to be hospitalized for more than 7 days, this coverage pays a specified daily benefit amount for each day of hospitalization beyond 7 days, up to a maximum of 365 days.  To be eligible for In-Hospital Benefits, the covered person must be registered as an in-patient and confined to a hospital while being treated by a physician.  Confinement solely for the purposes of convalescing or receiving nursing care is not covered.

REPATRIATION EXPENSE BENEFIT - If an insured suffers accidental loss of life while traveling, the company will pay the reasonable and customary repatriation expenses incurred up to the specified maximum benefit amount, to return the insured's remains to the insured's place of residence.  Repatriation Expenses means the charges incurred for the necessary embalming, cremation, transportation and purchase of a shipping container.

................................................................................................................................

If more than one insured suffers a loss in the same accident, the company will pay no more than the maximum limit of $100,000.  If an accident results in benefit amounts becoming payable, which when totaled, exceed the maximum limit of $100,000., the maximum limit will be divided proportionately among the Insureds based on each applicable benefit amount.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE

The effective date of the master policy is 5/1/98 12:01 A.M. Standard Time at the Policyholder's address.  Your coverage will be effective on the first day of the month following receipt of your completed enrollment form and full premium payment.  Your coverage will end on the date you are no longer eligible, or the 365th day after your coverage effective date, or the master policy is terminated, which first occurs.
