claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be
taken if the beneficiary wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Company

circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may
extend the time for up to an additional ninety (90) day period.

 

6.2           Review Procedure.  If the beneficiary is determined by the Company

is entitled to greater or different benefits, the beneficiary shall have the
opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for
review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice
issued by the Company. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the
beneficiary believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different
benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition,

Company, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the beneficiary.
