Benefits from Medical BridgeSM are paid as a lump sum per
covered hospital confinement or outpatient surgery and will be paid directly to you,
unless you specify otherwise, regardless of any other insurance you may have with other
insurance companies.
Medical BridgeSM provides supplemental benefits for:
- Confinement to a hospital due to a covered accident or covered sickness.
- Outpatient surgical procedures performed by a doctor, using anesthesia administered by a
licensed anesthesiologist in a hospital or ambulatory surgical center.
The benefits from this plan can be used in any way you like including helping to pay the
expenses related to a hospital stay such as:
- travel expenses to and from the hospital.
- lodging for your family members while you are in the hospital.
- child care for your family.
- other out-of-pocket hospital expenses not covered by your
health insurance.
Coverage is available for you, your spouse
and your dependent children. Plus, Medical BridgeSM offers
several benefit amounts so that you can choose the coverage that best meets your
individual needs. Medical BridgeSM is portable, which means
you can take your coverage with you if you change jobs or retire.
Coverage is also guaranteed renewable for life as long as premiums are paid when they are
due or within the grace period. Your premium can be changed only if we change it on all
policies of this kind in force in the state where the policy was issued.
A choice of optional riders is available and can be purchased at an additional cost. These
riders provide coverage for either accident or accident and sickness emergency room
treatment and doctor office follow-up visits after a confinement
or outpatient surgical procedure. A health screening rider is also available, to help you
in preventive care for you or a covered family member.
This coverage may not be available in all states; product benefits
vary by state. Policies have exclusions and limitations that may affect benefits payable.
For cost and complete details, please see your Colonial Life benefits representative.
