Florida Blue will only adjust the amount due of a Group and will not refund Premium(s) paid to a <br /> Covered Retiree, unless we mutually agree that a Covered Retiree is to be directly billed by Florida <br /> Blue.

Out of Area Services <br /> We have relationships with other Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Licensees ("Host Blues") referred to <br /> generally as the "Medicare Advantage Program." When Covered Persons access healthcare services <br /> outside of Florida, the claim for those services will be processed through the Medicare Advantage <br /> Program and presented to us for payment in accordance with the rules of the Medicare Advantage <br /> Program policies then in effect. The Medicare Advantage Program available to Covered Persons under <br /> this Agreement is described generally below. <br /> B. Covered Persons Liability Calculation <br /> The cost of the service on which the Covered Person's liability is based, will be either: <br /> 1. The Medicare allowable amount for covered services; or <br /> 2. The amount we negotiate with the provider of the Host Blue negotiates with its provider on <br /> behalf of our Covered Persons, if applicable. The amount negotiated may be either higher than, <br /> lower than, or equal to the Medicare allowable amount. <br /> SECTION 7: GENERAL PROVISIONS <br /> A. Administration and Record Retention <br /> Unless otherwise prohibited by law, you must provide us with any information we need to administer <br /> the coverage and/or benefits to be provided or needed to compute the Premium due.
