may continue up to a maximum of ive years, up to the point speciically
outlined in the disability booklet. This plan does have a pre-existing
conditions clause you should review in more detail. NextCare pays for the

weekly beneit is $1,000. The STD beneits begin after the end of the
elimination period, 14 days. The elimination period begins on the day you
become disabled and is the length of time you must wait, while disabled,
before you are eligible to receive a beneit. The maximum beneit duration
is 11 weeks of disability. There is a pre-existing conditions clause, which
you can review in the Certiicate of Insurance/Summary Plan Description
