Personal Necessity A maximum of eight (8) days of accumulated sick leave may be used in any school year for personal necessity leave for any of the following reasons:
Medical Necessity We Cover benefits described in this Contract as long as the dental service, procedure, treatment, test, device, or supply (collectively, “service”) is Medically Necessary e.g. orthodontia. The fact that a Provider has furnished, prescribed, ordered, recommended, or approved the service does not make it Medically Necessary or mean that We have to Cover it. We may base Our decision on a review of: • Your dental records; • Our dental policies and clinical guidelines; • Dental opinions of a professional society, peer review committee or other groups of Physicians; • Reports in peer-reviewed dental literature; • Reports and guidelines published by nationally-recognized health care organizations that include supporting scientific data; • Professional standards of safety and effectiveness, which are generally-recognized in the United States for diagnosis, care, or treatment; • The opinion of health care professionals in the generally-recognized health specialty involved; • The opinion of the attending Providers, which have credence but do not overrule contrary opinions. Services will be deemed Medically Necessary only if: • They are clinically appropriate in terms of type, frequency, extent, site, and duration, and considered effective for Your illness, injury, or disease; • They are required for the direct care and treatment or management of that condition; • Your condition would be adversely affected if the services were not provided; • They are provided in accordance with generally-accepted standards of dental practice; • They are not primarily for the convenience of You, Your family, or Your Provider; • They are not more costly than an alternative service or sequence of services, that is at least as likely to produce equivalent therapeutic or diagnostic results; • When setting or place of service is part of the review, services that can be safely provided to You in a lower cost setting will not be Medically Necessary if they are performed in a higher cost setting. See the Utilization Review and External Appeal sections of this Contract for Your right to an internal Appeal and external appeal of Our determination that a service is not Medically Necessary.
