E MEDOC Plan Health Options

The MEDOC Plan provides three Health Options: Optimum Health Option, Preferred Health Option and Standard Health Option.

The Health Option you qualify for is based on your answers to the Health Option Questionnaire and determines the Rate Schedule that applies to you at the time of your application for insurance or effective date. If your answers to the medical questions on the Health Option Questionnaire are not complete and accurate, the Insurer may void this insurance at its sole discretion.

Please note: at each effective date, coverage shall be issued at the Standard Health Option. If you wish to apply for the Optimum Health Option or the Preferred Health Option you must do so within 60 days of the first premium deduction date for that policy year.

All members automatically qualify for the Standard Health Option if they meet the eligibility requirements of this policy. To qualify for the Optimum Health Option or Preferred Health Option, the Health Option Questionnaire must be completed at each effective date. At each new effective date, coverage will be issued at the Standard Health Option rates applicable for the new policy year. An insured person has 60 days from the first premium deduction for that policy year to submit their completed Health Option Questionnaire and have their Health Option adjusted if they qualify for the Optimum Health Option or the Preferred Health Option. Confirmation of a change of Health Option shall be provided in writing by the Administrator and your premium rates shall be adjusted. Any insured person who had the option of submitting the Health Option Questionnaire and did not, automatically qualifies for the Standard Health Option.

Once you have accurately completed the Health Option Questionnaire and have qualified for either the Optimum or Preferred Health Option, you will continue to qualify for that option until the end of the policy year (August 31st), regardless of changes to your health during the current policy year.

For Trip Cancellation, Interruption & Delay Insurance benefits, the Pre-Existing Medical Condition Limitation also applies to a family member, close business associate, caregiver, travelling companion or your travelling companion’s family member.
