Frequently Asked Questions

  1.  Can I switch plans during the school year?
       No.  The plan you enroll in cannot be changed until September 1, 2008.
  2.  Is there a pre-existing condition limitation under the SOMA Program?

       Yes.  Pre-existing conditions are not covered for the first 12 months following

       an Insured person's effective date of coverage.  However, the time an insured

       Person was covered under previous creditable coverage will be credited if

       previous coverage was continuous to a date not more than 63 days before

       the Effective Date of this coverage, exclusive of any applicable waiting period.

       A Pre-existing Condition means:  1) the existence of symptoms which would

       cause an ordinarily prudent person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment

       within the 12 months immediately prior or the Insured's effective date under

       the policy or 2) any condition which originates, is diagnosed treated or

       recommended for treatment within the 12 months immediately prior to the

       Insured's effective date under the Policy.  The pre-existing condition limitation

       does not apply to the dental/vision option.

  3.   How do I get reimbursed for expenses?

       Medical - You must complete a claim form and send it along with your

       medical bills to The MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company.  It is your

       responsibility to file a claim and provide written notice of your claim within

       90 days from the date of any treatment.  (The MEGA Life and Health

       Insurance Company, P.O. Box 809025, Dallas, TX 75380-9025).

       Dental - Participating providers file all claim forms and acceptance

        hospitalization?

       No pre-certification is required but pre-admission notification is recommended

       prior to planned admissions or emergency admissions.
