Continued
Wage replacement benefits are paid to employees who miss work due to an on-the-job injury. The
Plan will pay wage replacement starting on the 8th day you miss work.
The Plan will be administered by professionals who are trained to deliver the benefits provided by the
Plan. They will work with you to resolve any problems that may develop. In the event you feel there
has been an improper delivery of benefits, the Plan has clearly defined appeal procedures. If the appeal
procedures do not resolve your problem with the claim administrator you can appeal their decision to
the Plan Committee. If the Plan Committee rules against you and you still believe you have a case for
benefits, your claim will be mediated. Lastly, if the issue is still unresolved, the claim will be arbitrated
to quickly and fairly resolve any disputes between you and the Plan or the Company.
The Plan Administrator has adopted procedures in compliance with “HIPPA Privacy Rules” in 45
CFR Part 160, 164, Subparts A and E to the extent that these rules apply to Medical Benefits provided
by the Plan.
