Large claim <br />data must include age, sex, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment plan, case management notes (if applicable), Pre -Cert and paid/pended claims. <br />• The Specific rates in this proposal are based on an Aggregating Specific arrangement. Maximum Specific Liability includes estimated Policy Term <br />Specific premium and the Aggregating Specific fund. <br />• Human Organ Transplant benefits are payable in accordance with the Covered Underlying Plan and are subject to the proposed Lifetime <br />Maximum Specific Benefit offered within this proposal. <br />• This proposal includes a 40% rate cap on the Specific Premium Rate at the renewal of your Stop Loss Policy. If applicable, this increase also will <br />apply to the Aggregating Specific Loss Fund. The rate cap does not apply to Material Changes including, but not limited to, the following: Covered <br />Underlying Plan, HM's Stop Loss Policy provisions, the PPO network or the Claims Administrator, and the rates may be further adjusted by such <br />changes. The rate cap rider applies to this Policy Term only. It may be offered at subsequent Stop Loss Policy renewals at the discretion of HM <br />Underwriting. <br />• At renewal, We will not apply any new lasers, including but not limited to, an Alternate Specific Deductible or Excluded Claim Expense, within the <br />Special Risk Limitations section of the policy, unless requested. <br />• Lockton's standard required terms will not be automatically accepted. However, a Stop Loss Acknowledgement Form may be requested at the <br />time of sale. <br />• Notwithstanding any other terms or conditions, the following provisions shall apply to gene therapies: <br />No new laser (including, but not limited to, an alternate specific deductibles or excluded claim expenses) will be applied to any individual at the <br />next renewal for gene therapy costs. <br />Rates and aggregate specific deductibles, if applicable, will not increase at renewal due to gene therapy claim costs. <br />Any lasers and/or contingencies in place as of the proposal effective date may be continued on subsequent renewals, subject to the carrier's <br />discretion. <br />The carrier reserves the right to offer, modify, or discontinue these provisions on subsequent renewals. <br />These provisions do not supersede the group's plan documents in determining eligibility for gene therapy coverage and do not apply to gene <br />therapy claims deemed ineligible for coverage. <br />The specific deductible and any pre-existing lasers remain applicable. <br />These provisions apply exclusively to the costs of the gene therapy itself and do not extend to costs associated with underlying conditions, <br />comorbidities, or other medical expenses related to the treatment or management of such conditions. <br />PROPOSAL ACCEPTANCE <br />To consider a group for coverage we will require submission of all underlying documentation regarding member eligibility and termination as well as <br />the group Leave of Absence Policy.
