Important Notice to Persons on Medicare This Insurance Duplicates Some Medicare Benefits

This is not Medicare Supplement Insurance

This insurance provides limited benefits, if you meet the policy conditions, for expenses relating to the specific services listed in the policy. It does not pay your Medicare deductibles or coinsurance and is not a substitute for Medicare Supplement insurance.

This insurance duplicates Medicare benefits when:

* any of the services covered by the policy are also covered by Medicare

Medicare pays extensive benefits for medically necessary services regardless of the reason you need them. These include:

* hospitalization

* physician services

* outpatient prescription drugs if you are enrolled in Medicare Part D

* other approved items and services

Before You Buy This Insurance

Check the coverage in all health insurance policies you already have.

For more information about Medicare and Medicare Supplement insurance, review the Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare, available from the insurance company.

For help in understanding your health insurance, contact the Commissioner of Insurance or the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
