Weekly Indemnity Benefit. Claim must be filed within (90) days of commencement of disability. In case of illness benefits will be paid as previously described only if you see a licensed physician no later than the fourth day of disability and remain under the doctor's care until you are able to return to work. If you do not see a doctor by the fourth day, your benefits will be payable only from the day on which you first visit a doctor. In case of accident, you must see the doctor no later than the day following the accident in order to qualify for benefits from the first day; otherwise benefits will be payable as if the disability is due to illness. Diagnosis and prescription by telephone only does not constitute a "visit" for this purpose.
