Coordination of Benefits (COB). If an Eligible Person or Eligible Dependent is covered for Dental Services or Benefits by another third party provider’s contract, arrangement, or insurance carrier, the Plan’s liability for payment will be determined as follows: A. A plan with no rules for coordination with other Benefits will be deemed to pay its Benefits before a plan that contains such rules. B. A plan that covers a person other than as a Dependent will be deemed to pay its Benefits before a plan that covers the person as a Dependent. C. A plan that covers the person as a Dependent of a person whose birthday comes first in a Calendar Year will be primary to the Plan that covers the person as a Dependent of a person whose birthday comes later in that Calendar Year. If a plan does not have this provision regarding birthdays, the rule set forth in that plan will determine the order of Benefits. If the person for whom claim is made is a Dependent child and the parents are separated or divorced: 1. If there is a court decree which would establish financial responsibility for the medical, dental, or other health care expenses with respect to the child, the Benefits of a plan which covers the child as a Dependent of the parent with such financial responsibility shall be determined before the Benefits of any other plan which covers the child as a Dependent child. 2. If there is not a court decree which would establish financial responsibility for the medical, dental, or other health care expenses with respect to the child: a. If the custodial parent has not remarried, the Benefits of a plan which covers the child as a Dependent of the custodial parent will be determined before the Benefits of a plan which covers the child as a Dependent of the noncustodial parent. b. If the custodial parent has remarried, the Benefits of a plan that covers the child as a Dependent of the custodial parent shall be determined before the Benefits of a plan which covers that child as a Dependent of the stepparent or the noncustodial parent. The Benefits of a plan which covers that child as a Dependent of the stepparent will be determined before the Benefits of a plan which covers that child as a Dependent of the noncustodial parent. D. If A, B, and/or C above do not establish an order of payment, the Plan under which the person has been covered for the longest period of time will be deemed to pay its Benefits first, except that: 1.

Coordination of Benefits (COB). The coordination of benefits provision of this policy applies when a person has health care coverage under more than one Plan as defined below. The order of benefit determination rules govern the order in which each Plan pays a claim for benefits. • The Plan that pays first is the “Primary Plan”. The Primary Plan must pay benefits in accordance with its policy terms without regard to the possibility that another Plan may cover some expenses. • The Plan that pays after the Primary Plan is the “Secondary Plan.” The Secondary Plan may reduce the benefits it pays so that payments from all Plans do not exceed 100% of the total Allowable Expense. The HMO will provide access to Covered Services first and determine liability later.

Related to Coordination of Benefits (COB)

  • Coordination of Benefits i. Delta Dental coordinates the dental Benefits under this dental plan with your benefits under any other group or pre-paid plan or insurance plan designed to fully integrate with other plans. If this plan is the “primary” plan, Delta Dental will not reduce Benefits. If this plan is the “secondary” plan, Delta Dental may reduce Benefits so that the total benefits paid or provided by all plans do not exceed 100% of total allowable expense. ii. How does Delta Dental determine which Plan is the “primary” plan? 1) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent. 2) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the insured person as a dependent; except that if the insured person is also a Medicare beneficiary, and as a result of the rule established by Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and implementing regulations, Medicare is: a) secondary to the plan covering the insured person as a dependent; and b) primary to the plan covering the insured person as other than a dependent (e.g. a retired employee), then the benefits of the plan covering the insured person as a dependent are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person as other than a dependent. 3) Except as stated in paragraph 4), when this plan and another plan cover the same child as a dependent of different persons, called parents: a) the benefits of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls earlier in a year are determined before those of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls later in that year; but b) if both parents have the same birthday, the benefits of the plan covering one parent longer are determined before those of the plan covering the other parent for a shorter period of time. c) However, if the other plan does not have the birthday rule described above, but instead has a rule based on the gender of the parent, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, the rule in the other plan determines the order of benefits. 4) In the case of a dependent child of legally separated or divorced parents, the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent with legal custody or as a dependent of the custodial parent’s spouse (i.e. step-parent) will be primary over the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent without legal custody. If there is a court decree establishing financial responsibility for the health care expenses with respect to the child, the benefits of a plan covering the child as a dependent of the parent with such financial responsibility will be determined before the benefits of any other policy covering the child as a dependent child. 5) If the specific terms of a court decree state that the parents will share joint custody without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the plans covering the child will follow the order of benefit determination rules outlined in paragraph 3). 6) The benefits of a plan covering an insured person as an employee who is neither laid-off nor retired are determined before those of a plan covering that insured person as a laid-off or retired employee. The same would hold true if an insured person is a dependent of a person covered as a retiree or an employee. If the other plan does not have this rule, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 6) is ignored. 7) If an insured person whose coverage is provided under a right of continuation pursuant to federal or state law also is covered under another plan, the following will be the order of benefit determination. a) First, the benefits of a plan covering the insured person as an employee (or as that insured person’s dependent). b) Second, the benefits under the continuation coverage. c) If the other plan does not have the rule described above, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 7) is ignored. 8) If none of the above rules determines the order of benefits, the benefits of the plan covering an employee longer are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person for the shorter term. 9) When determination cannot be made in accordance with the above for Pediatric Benefits, the benefits of a plan that is a medical plan covering dental as a benefit will be primary to a dental only plan.

Xxxxxxxx Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5155). In consideration of Grantee’s receipt or the commitment of CRF funds by Florida Housing, Grantee hereby assigns to Florida Housing all of Grantee’s future rights to reimbursement and all payments received from any grant, subsidized loan or any other reimbursement or relief program related to the basis of the calculation of the portion of the funds committed to the Grantee under this Agreement and determined to be a Duplication of Benefits (DOB).

  • Limitation of Benefits (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any benefit, payment or distribution by the Company or any of its direct and/or indirect subsidiaries to or for the benefit of Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 18) (such benefits, payments or distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payments to Employee, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net after-tax benefit to Employee of the Payments after payment by Employee of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net after-tax benefit to Employee if the Payments had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payments shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of such Payments as of the date of the change of control, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 18(b) below). For purposes of this Section 18, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 18, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the change of control of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 18, including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Employee. All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments hereunder will have been unnecessarily limited by this Section 18 (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. The Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Employee, but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises.
