When do coverage policies apply?
The terms of an individual's particular coverage plan document (Group Service Agreement (GSA), Evidence of Coverage, Certificate of Coverage, Summary Plan Description (SPD) or similar plan document) may differ significantly from the standard coverage plans upon which these coverage policies are based. If these coverage policies are inconsistent with the terms of the individual's specific coverage plan, then the terms of the individual's specific coverage plan always control.
Coverage determinations in each specific instance require consideration of:
- the terms of the applicable coverage plan document in effect on the date of service
- any applicable laws/regulations
- any relevant collateral source materials
- the specific facts of the particular situation
