Under Emergency Medical Insurance, you are covered for
the actual eligible covered expenses related to the medical
attention you need if a medical emergency begins
unexpectedly after your effective date of insurance and

you have purchased. Medical attention must be required as
part of your emergency treatment and ordered by a
physician (or a dentist in the case of dental treatment ).
Covered expenses and benefits are subject to the policy’s

Benefit Period
This is the maximum time period up to which the plan will pay benefits for any one eligible condition. Some policies have a 12 month benefit period while others have a 6 month benefit period; usually this period can extend beyond the date of policy expiration.
Carrier
Insurance Company that actually underwrites and issues the insurance policy. The term refers to the fact that the company carries (or assumes) certain risks for the policyholder.
Child
Insurance Company that actually underwrites and issues the insurance policy. The term refers to the fact that the company carries (or assumes) certain risks for the policyholder.
Claim
Request by the insured (or his/her provider) to an insurance company to pay for services obtained from a health care provider. The claim is usually submitted in a pre-determined format or a claim form.
Co-Insurance or co-payment
After your deductible is met, co-insurance is the percentage of the covered medical expenses that you, the insured person, must pay. For instance, if your health plan has an 80/20 co-insurance rate, your insurance plan pays for 80% of your eligible medical expenses and you are responsible for the remaining 20%. Example: If you buy an insurance policy with $50,000 policy maximum, $250 deductible per policy period and 80/20 co-insurance for the first $5,000 and 100% coverage thereafter. Suppose you incur medical claim for a covered condition of $10,250. You pay first $250 deductible; then out of the remaining $10,000 covered expenses, you pay 20% of the first $5,000 (i.e., $1,000); the insurance policy pays for the remaining expenses (i.e. $9,000). That means, you pay $250 + $1,000 = $1,250 total; and insurance company pays $4,000 + $5,000 = $9,000
