INPATIENT ADMISSION<br />
PRE-CERTIFICATION PROGRAM<br />
Pre-admission certification is designed to help you receive<br />
quality, cost-effective medical care.<br />
• All inpatient admissions, including length of stay, must<br />
be certified by contacting Chickering Claims<br />
Administrators, Inc.<br />
• Pre-Certification does not guarantee the payment of<br />
benefits for your inpatient admission. Each claim is<br />
subject to medical Policy review in accordance with the<br />
exclusions and limitations contained in the Policy, as well<br />
as a review of eligibility, adherence to notification<br />
guidelines, and benefit coverage under the Student<br />
Accident and Sickness Plan.<br />
• If you do not secure Pre-Certification for non-emergency<br />
inpatient admissions or provide notification for emergency<br />
admissions, your Covered Medical Expenses will be<br />
subject to a $200 per admission Deductible.<br />
Pre-Certification of Non-Emergency Inpatient<br />
Admissions:<br />
The patient, Physician, or hospital must telephone at least<br />
three business days prior to the planned admission.<br />
Notification of Emergency Admissions:<br />
The patient, patient's representative, Physician, or hospital<br />
must telephone within one business day following<br />
admission.<br />
