What is Covered?

MEDICAL BENEFITS - ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS 

  1. Charges made by a hospital for room and board, floor nursing and other services exclusive of charges for professional service and with the exception of personal services of a non-medical nature; provided, however, that expenses do not exceed the hospital's average charge for semiprivate room and board accommodation or intensive care when medically necessary.

If the charge is in excess of UCR, no payment will be made with respect to the excess, and the excess will not qualify as a Covered Expense under the Policy.  All charges shall be deemed to be incurred on the date such services or supplies which give rise to the expense or charge are rendered or obtained.
