Residential Treatment Facility - a facility established and operated as required by law which provides Mental
            Health Care Services or Substance Related and Addictive Disorder Services. It must meet all of the following
            requirements:

               ·   Provides a program of treatment under the active participation and direction of a Physician and approved
                   by the Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder Designee.
               ·   Has or maintains a written, specific and detailed treatment program requiring your full-time residence and
                   full- time participation.
               ·   Provides at least the following basic services in a 24-hour per day, structured milieu:

                   ·   Room and board.
                   ·   Evaluation and diagnosis.

                   ·   Counseling.
                   ·   Referral and orientation to specialized community resources.

            A Residential Treatment facility that qualifies as a Hospital is considered a Hospital.
            Secondary Plan - the plan which determines its benefits after those of the other Plan. The benefits of the
            Secondary Plan may be reduced because of the other Plan's benefits.

            Semi-private Room - a room with two or more beds. When an Inpatient Stay in a Semi–private Room is a
            Covered Health Care Service, the difference in cost between a Semi–private Room and a private room is a
            Benefit only when a private room is Medically Necessary, or when a Semi–private Room is not available.

            Shared Savings Program - a program in which we may obtain a discount to an out-of-Network provider's billed
            charges. This discount is usually based on a schedule previously agreed to by the out-of-Network provider. When
            this happens, you may experience lower out-of-pocket amounts. Co-insurance and any applicable deductible
            would still apply to the reduced charge. Policy provisions or administrative practices supersede the scheduled
            rate, and a different rate is determined by us. In this case, the out-of-Network provider may bill you for the
            difference between the billed amount and the rate determined by us. If this happens, you should call the
            telephone number shown on your ID card. Shared Savings Program providers are not Network providers and are
            not credentialed by us.
            Sickness - disorder, dysfunction, or illness of the body.

            Specialist Physician - a Physician who has a majority of his or her practice in areas other than general

            treatment of alcoholism and substance-related and addictive disorders that are listed in the current Diagnostic and
            Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, unless those services are specifically excluded. The
            fact that a disorder is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association does
            not mean that treatment of the disorder is a Covered HealthCare Service.
