COORDINATION OF BENEFITS AND SERVICES. Purpose of This Provision A Member may be covered under this Contract and subsequently become covered by or eligible for coverage under Medicare or coverage under a group Health Benefits Plan, Group Health Plan, Governmental Plan, or Church Plan.

Coordination of benefits is intended to avoid duplication of benefits while at the same time preserving certain rights to coverage under all Plans under which the Member is covered. Please note: The ONLY circumstance in which a person may be covered under both this Contract and under Medicare or coverage under a group Health Benefits Plan, Group Health Plan, Governmental Plan, or Church Plan occur when a Member is already covered under this Contract and subsequently becomes eligible for Medicare or coverage under a group Health Benefits Plan, Group Health Plan, Governmental Plan, or Church Plan.
