What if there is an
emergency? |
A medical emergency is
defined as a serious medical
condition resulting from
injury or sickness, which
arises suddenly and requires
immediate care and
treatment, including relief
of acute pain, to avoid
extended or permanent
physical impairment or loss
of life. If you face such a
medical emergency, you
should seek immediate
attention at the closest
medical facility. If
possible, your personal
physician should be
contacted prior to seeking
emergency care. After
receiving care, your
personal physician should be
contacted to arrange for any
necessary follow-up
services, since Emergency
Room follow-up care is not a
covered benefit if received
within an Emergency Room
setting. |
