LONGER ABSENCE DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. If you receive emergency or urgent care when you are temporarily out of the service area, you must tell your LIFE Provider within 48 hours or as soon as is reasonably possible to do so. Information about your hospital visit or stay must be provided to LIFE. If you should be hospitalized, LIFE would like to transfer you to a hospital designated by your LIFE Provider as soon as you are physically able. Remaining in the care of LIFE is the best way to coordinate your health care needs.
