4) Assisting in Plan’s Reimbursement Activities. You have an obligation to assist the Plan in obtaining<br />
reimbursement of the total amount paid on your behalf for the benefits or expenses for Covered<br />
Services, and to provide the Plan with any information concerning your other insurance coverage<br />
(whether through automobile insurance, other group health program, or otherwise) and any other person<br />
or entity (including your insurer(s)) that may be obligated to provide payments or benefits to you or for<br />
your benefit. You are required to (a) notify the Plan Administrator within 30 days of the date when any<br />
notice is given to any party, including an insurance company or attorney, of your intention to pursue or<br />
investigate a claim to recover damages or obtain compensation due to Injury, Illness, or a condition<br />
sustained by you, (b) cooperate fully in the Plan’s exercise of its rights to subrogation and<br />
reimbursement, (c) not do anything to prejudice those rights (such as settling a claim against another<br />
party without including the Plan as a co-payee for the total amount paid on your behalf for the benefits<br />
or expenses for Covered Services and notifying the Plan) or to prejudice the Plan’s ability to enforce<br />
the terms of this provision, (d) sign any document deemed by the Plan Administrator to be relevant to<br />
protecting the Plan’s subrogation, reimbursement or other rights, and (e) provide relevant information<br />
when requested. The term “information” includes any documents, insurance policies, police reports, or<br />
any reasonable request by the Plan Administrator to enforce the Plan’s rights. Failure to provide<br />
requested information may result in the termination of your coverage under the Plan or the institution<br />
of court proceeding against you.<br />
5) Overpayments. If a benefit payment is made to or on behalf of any person that exceeds the benefit<br />
amount such person is entitled to receive in accordance with the terms of the Plan, this Plan has the<br />
right:<br />
• To require the return of the overpayment on request; or<br />
• To reduce, by the amount of the overpayment, any future benefit payment made to or on behalf of<br />
that person or another person in his or her family.<br />
This provision does not affect any other right of recovery the Plan may have with respect to<br />
overpayments.<br />
Your failure to follow the above terms and conditions may result, at the discretion of the Plan<br />
Administrator, in a reduction from future benefit payments available to you under the Plan of an amount<br />
up to the aggregate amount paid on your behalf for the benefits or expenses for Covered Services that<br />
has not been reimbursed to the Plan.<br />
In the event that any claim is made that any part of this subrogation and reimbursement provision is<br />
ambiguous or questions arise concerning the meaning or intent of any of its terms, the Plan Administrator<br />
or its delegate shall have the sole authority and discretion to resolve all disputes regarding the<br />
interpretation of this provision.<br />
By accepting benefits (whether the payment of such benefits is made to you or made on behalf of you to<br />
any Provider) from the Plan, you agree that any court proceeding with respect to this provision may be<br />
brought in any court of competent jurisdiction as the Plan may elect. By accepting such benefits, you<br />
hereby submit to each such jurisdiction, waiving whatever rights may correspond to you by reason of your<br />
present or future domicile.<br />
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE <strong>PLAN</strong><br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> intends to continue this Plan indefinitely. However, certain circumstances may require that<br />
this Plan be amended or terminated. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>Health</strong> expressly reserves the right to amend, modify, or<br />
terminate this Plan at any time in its sole discretion by action of a duly Authorized Representative.<br />
In the event that any such action results in the termination of coverage, benefits will only be paid for<br />
claims incurred prior to the date of termination of coverage.<br />
