Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Freedom has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Freedom. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Freedom (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Freedom, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Freedom will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
Your Guide to Selecting a Primary Care Provider (PCP) and Other Providers Quality healthcare begins with a partnership between you and your primary care provider (PCP). When you need care, call your PCP, who will help coordinate your care. Your healthcare coverage under this plan is provided or arranged through our network of PCPs, specialists, and other providers. You’re encouraged to: • become involved in your healthcare by asking providers about all treatment plans available and their costs; • take advantage of the preventive health services offered under this plan to help you stay healthy and find problems before they become serious. Each member is required to select and provide the name of his or her network PCP who will provide and arrange for your health care. Your PCP provides your health care, orders lab tests and x-rays, prescribe medicines or therapies, and arranges hospitalization when necessary. You may choose one from the list of Access Blue New England network PCP providers on our website. Each enrolled member may select a different PCP. If a PCP is not chosen, we may assign one for each enrolled member. You may change your designated PCP by calling our Customer Service Department or visiting our website. Finding a PCP in our network is easy. To select a provider, or to check that a provider is in our network, please use the “Find a Doctor” tool on our website or call Customer Service. Please note: We are not obligated to provide you with a provider. We are not liable for anything your provider does or does not do. We are not a healthcare provider and do not practice medicine, dentistry, furnish health care, or make medical judgments.
