Last week we quoted some of
the answers given us in regards
to the questions we asked about
our Aetna Insurance. You will
find more OF these questions and
answers below:
@ Can Medical Expense Policy
H-44682-GS-44682 be kept in force
or converted after the insured
has been laid off for a period ex-
ceeding 30 days?
A No.
@ Can a similar policy be pur-
chased by laid off employees,
quits, ETC.,
A No, unless such employees
wish to contact another insurance
company such as, White Cross or
Mutual of Omaha, and under such
ciTcumstances the policy would
not be identical with ours and
would probably be much more ex-
pensive.
@ Is it necessary for insured to
pay their Insurance when on sick
leave and drawing benefits? "
so, why?
A They cannot pay because it
is illegal under the insurance laws
of Ohio.
@ Explain 90-day extended bene-
fit clause as applied to disability.
A With respect to disability in
surance, there is no 9O-day ex-
tended benefit clause. If at the
time of layoff the employee is
disabled due to non-occupational
accident or an illness not compen-
sable under workSnen's compensa-
tion, he will be entitled to weekly
indemnity payments for that dis
ability. Claim should be submitted,
however, before the end of his
disability.
We will conclude these Ques-
tions and Answers on our Insur.
ance in this column next week.
