SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS

WHY RESIDE SHOULD BE YOUR INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAM?

There is an increasing population of global citizens, people who travel from country to country or continent to continent on a regular basis. Included among these global citizens are those less inclined to travel, however are discerning enough to know and demand the best care available worldwide. Whatever the reason, if you need to leave your home country, Reside Worldwide Medical Plan will follow you. Many foreign countries do have coverage options, but you will find that as a US citizen, you are either not eligible for coverage or the protection the plan offers is inadequate. For non-US citizens, the issue may be finding a comprehensive medical plan to provide coverage where your local plan may fall short. Whether you are a US citizens living abroad or a citizen of another country, Reside provides you with security at home and the freedom to seek care anywhere in the world.

It is the Insured Person's responsibility to maintain all records regarding travel history, age and student status and provide any documents to the Administrator, which would verify the Eligibility Requirements.

HOW LONG MAY I BE COVERED UNDER RESIDE?

The Reside program is annually renewable as long as the eligibility requirements are met and the renewal premium paid. There are no additional medical questions upon renewal. The company cannot single out an individual for cancellation, they can only cancel coverage for an entire class* of insureds.

For those who apply for coverage prior to their 65th birthday and remain continuously insured for ten consecutive years, you will automatically be converted to the Reside Senior Provider at age 75 as long as you continue your eligibility status. *A "Class" is a group of people defined by a common characteristic, including but not limited to demographic group and geographic region.

WHAT DO I DO IF I NEED TO USE THE INSURANCE?

For hospitalization and surgical procedures, contact SRI Assist to obtain pre-notification services. The quality and complexity of medical treatment varies from country to country, therefore pre-notification is a requirement of the program. It allows our professionals to locate a Preferred Provider facility if available, assist you in receiving the best course of treatment, and coordinate payment with the local facility. Our objective is for you to focus your attention on your medical condition and not on administrative details.

For non-hospital or surgical related procedures, filing a claim under Reside is easy. Just complete the claim form that comes with your ID Card, sign it, and submit it along with all original, itemized bills (and receipts if you have already paid for the medical expenses) to SRI for processing. If acceptable with the facility, SRI will make the payment directly to the treating hospital or doctor.

If there are more than two children under the age of 10 or if the children are 10 or over, the program will charge the dependent child rate.
