Common use of Prompt Availability Clause in Contracts

Prompt Availability. Designated Physician’s or, when applicable, a covering physician’s urgent and unscheduled availability that is medically necessary is covered by Program Member’s health plan, is not part of this Membership Agreement and payment of Program Fees is not a condition of receipt of such medical services by any patient. When not medically necessary, arrangements will be made for Designated Physician or, in Designated Physician’s absence, Personalized Care Practice’s other designee, to be available promptly to personally communicate with Program Member, at all times to a reasonable extent, through telephone or telephone call enhancements. The response time and the method of communication will be appropriate to the purpose of the communications. If the matter is possibly life threatening, 911 should be contacted first and then, if possible, call the Personalized Care Practice.
