Section 3.1 Medical services we do not cover (exclusions) This section tells you what services are “excluded” from Medicare coverage and therefore, are not covered by this plan. The chart below lists services and items that either are not covered under any condition or are covered only under specific conditions. If you get services that are excluded (not covered), you must pay for them yourself, except under the specific conditions listed below. Even if you receive the excluded services at an emergency facility, the excluded services are still not covered and our plan will not pay for them. The only exception is if the service is appealed and decided upon appeal to be a medical service that we should have paid for or covered because of your specific situation. (For information about appealing a decision we have made to not cover a medical service, go to Chapter 9, Section 5.3 in this document.)
