2. If an outline of coverage is provided at the time of application and the policy to supplement Medicare or the certificate is issued on a basis that would require revision of the outline, a substitute outline of coverage properly describing the policy or certificate must accompany the policy or certificate when it is delivered. The substitute outline must contain the following statement, in not less than 12-point type, immediately above the name of the company:

* Plan F also has an option called a High Deductible Plan F. This high deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year deductible. Benefits from High Deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed the deductible. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. These expenses include the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but do not include the plan’s separate foreign travel emergency deductible.
** Out-of-pocket limit will increase each year for inflation.
*** The amount that Medicare does not pay is subject to change. For the current amount that Medicare does not pay, please consult the most current version of the Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare, which must be provided by an insurer to an applicant pursuant to NAC 687B.240.
PREMIUM INFORMATION (Boldface type)
We (insert issuer’s name) can only raise your premium if we raise the premium for all policies like yours in this State. (If the premium is based on the increasing age of the insured, include information specifying when premiums will change.)
DISCLOSURES (Boldface type)
Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.
READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY
(Boldface type)
This is only an outline describing your policy’s most important features. The policy is your insurance contract. You must read the policy to understand all of the rights and duties of both you and your insurance company.
RIGHT TO RETURN POLICY (Boldface type)
If you find that you are not satisfied with your policy, you may return it to (insert issuer’s address). If you send the policy back to us within 30 days after you receive it, we will treat the policy as if it had never been issued and return all of your payments.
POLICY REPLACEMENT (Boldface type)
If you are replacing another policy of health insurance, do NOT cancel it until you have actually received your new policy and are sure you want to keep it.
NOTICE (Boldface type)
This policy may not cover all of your medical costs.
(For agents)
Neither (insert company’s name) nor its agents are connected with Medicare.
(For direct response)
(Insert company’s name) is not connected with Medicare.
This outline of coverage does not give all the details of Medicare coverage. Contact your local social security office or consult Medicare & You for more details.
COMPLETE ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
(Boldface type)
When you fill out the application for the new policy, be sure to answer truthfully and completely all questions about your medical and health history. The company may cancel your policy and refuse to pay any claims if you leave out or falsify important medical information. (If the policy or certificate is guaranteed issue, this paragraph need not appear.)
Review the application carefully before you sign it. Be certain that all information has been properly recorded.
(Include for each plan prominently identified in the cover page, a chart showing the services, Medicare payments, plan payments and insured payments for each plan, using the same language, in the same order, and the same uniform layout and format as shown in the charts set forth in this subsection. No more than four plans may be shown on one chart. An issuer may use additional designations for benefit plans on these charts as authorized by subsection 4 of NAC 687B.295.)
(Include an explanation of any innovative benefits on the cover page and in the chart, in the manner approved by the Commissioner.)

MEDICARE (PART A) - HOSPITAL SERVICES - PER BENEFIT PERIOD
* A benefit period begins on the first day you receive service as an inpatient in a hospital and ends after you have been out of the hospital and have not received skilled care in any other facility for 60 consecutive days.
** The amount that Medicare does not pay is subject to change. For the current amount that Medicare does not pay, please consult the most current version of the Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare, which must be provided by an issuer to an applicant pursuant to NAC 687B.240.
*** NOTICE: When your Medicare Part A hospital benefits are exhausted, the insurer stands in the place of Medicare and will pay whatever amount Medicare would have paid for up to an additional 365 days as provided in the policy’s “Core Benefits.” During this time the hospital is prohibited from billing you for the balance based on any difference between its billed charges and the amount Medicare would have paid.
