ERISA Claims and Appeals Procedures
Initial Benefit Determination
Claim Involving Urgent Care
In the case of a claim that involves urgent care, the claims administrator will notify the claimant of the benefit determination (whether adverse or not) no later than 72 hours after receipt of the claim by the claims administrator. The claimant must, however, provide sufficient information to determine whether, and to what extent, benefits are payable under the Plan.
If the claimant fails to provide sufficient information to determine whether, and to what extent, a claim involving urgent care is covered by the Plan, the claims administrator will notify the claimant within 24 hours after receipt of the claim of the specific information necessary to complete the claim.
The claimant will be given a reasonable amount of time, taking into account the circumstances, but in no event less than 48 hours, to provide the specified information. The claims administrator will notify the claimant of the benefit determination no later than 48 hours following the earlier of:
 | The claims administrator’s receipt of the specified information; or
|
 | The end of the period afforded to the claimant to provide the specified additional information. |
