About this file

This is a Group Vision Insurance Certificate issued by Fidelity Security Life Insurance Company to Gloucester County Public Schools in Virginia, with an effective date of October 1, 2016 and annual policy anniversaries on October 1. The certificate provides vision care benefits for eligible employees and their dependents through the EyeMed Vision Care network. Coverage includes comprehensive eye examinations, vision materials (lenses and frames), and contact lenses on a 12-month benefit frequency basis. In-network providers are available through the EyeMed Insight Network, with out-of-network reimbursement options also available. The plan allows members to access thousands of vision care providers, including independent eye doctors, retail stores, and online options, with additional specialized services such as LASIK discounts and hearing aid discounts through affiliated networks.

The plan features a $10 copayment for comprehensive eye examinations at in-network providers with up to $40 reimbursement for out-of-network services. Vision materials are covered with varying copayments: single vision, bifocal, trifocal, and lenticular lenses carry a $25 copayment; frames have no copayment with a $130 allowance; and contact lenses have no copayment with a $130 allowance. Progressive lenses range from $90 to $135 copayment depending on tier level. Out-of-network reimbursement limits apply to all services. The plan excludes coverage for non-prescription items, medical or surgical eye treatment, vision materials required as employment conditions, safety eyewear, lost or broken lenses and frames, and services covered under workers' compensation. Virginia residents receive enhanced dependent child coverage extending to age 26 regardless of financial dependency or student status. The Certificate of Insurance is maintained on file with the employer, and claims must be submitted within 90 days of service with payment typically processed within 30 days of receiving proper documentation.

TERMINATION OF INSURANCE

The Policyholder or the Company may terminate or cancel the Policy as shown in the Policy.

In the event coverage is terminated due to nonpayment of premium by the Policyholder, the coverage will not be terminated by the Company with respect to Insured Persons, until the Policyholder has been provided written notice of termination, including a specific date, not less than 15 days from the date of such notice, by which coverage will terminate if overdue premium is not paid. Coverage will not terminate for at least 15 days after such notice has been mailed.

For All Insureds. The Insureds’ insurance will cease on the earliest of the following dates:

1. the date the Policy ends;

2. the end of the last period for which any required premium contribution agreed to in writing has been made;

3. the date the Insured is no longer eligible for insurance; or

4. the date the Insured’s employment with the Policyholder ends. The Policyholder may, at the Policyholder’s option, continue insurance for individuals whose employment has ended, if the Policyholder:

a. does so without individual selection between Insureds; and

b. continues to pay any premium contribution for those individuals.

For Dependents. A Dependent’s insurance will cease on the earlier of:

1. the date the Insured’s coverage ends;

2. the date in which the Dependent ceases to be an eligible Dependent as defined in the Policyholder’s application; or

3. the end of the last period for which any required premium contribution has been made.

A Dependent child will not cease to be a Dependent solely because of age if the child is:

1. not capable of self-sustaining employment due to mental incapacity or physical handicap that began before the age limit was reached; and

2. mainly dependent on the Insured for support.

The Company may ask for proof of the eligible Dependent child’s incapacity and dependency two months prior to the date the Dependent child would otherwise cease to be covered.

The Company may require the same proof again, but will not ask for it more than once a year after this coverage has been continued for two years. This continued coverage will end:

1. on the date the Policy ends;

2. on the date the incapacity or dependency ends;

3. on the end of the last period for which any required premium contribution for the Dependent child has been made; or

4. 60 days following the date the Company requests proof and such proof is not provided to the Company.

CLAIMS

Notice of Claim. Written notice of claim must be given to the Company within 30 days after the occurrence or commencement of any loss covered by the Policy, or as soon as is reasonably possible. Notice given by or for the Insured

Person to the Company at the Company’s home office, to the Company’s authorized administrator or to any of the

Company’s authorized agents with sufficient information to identify the Insured Person will be deemed as notice to the

Company.

Claim Forms. The Company will furnish claim forms to the Insured Person within 15 days after notice of claim is received. If the Company does not provide the forms within that time, the Insured Person may send written proof of the occurrence, character and extent of loss for which the claim is made within the time stated in the Policy for filing proof of loss.

Proof of Loss. Written proof of loss must be furnished to the Company at the Company’s home office within 90 days after the date of the loss. Failure to furnish proof within the time required will not invalidate or reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within that time, if the proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible. In no event, except in the absence of legal capacity, will proof of loss be accepted later than one year from the time proof is required.

Time Payment of Claims. Any benefit payable under the Policy will be paid immediately, but not more than 30 days, upon receipt of due written proof of loss.

Payment of Claims. All claims will be paid to the Insured, unless assigned. Any benefits payable on or after the Insured’s death will be paid to the Insured’s estate.

Right of Recovery. If payment for claims exceeds the amount for which the Insured Person is eligible under any benefit provision or rider of the Policy, the Company has the right to recover the excess of such payment from the Provider or the

Insured.

Legal Actions. No Insured Person can bring an action at law or in equity to recover on the Policy until more than 60 days after the date written proof of loss has been furnished according to the Policy. No such action may be brought after the expiration of three years after the time written proof of loss is required to be furnished. If the time limit of the Policy is less than allowed by the laws of the state where the Insured Person resides, the limit is extended to meet the minimum time allowed by such law.

Claims Experience; Disclosure. The Company, upon request, will provide the Policyholder with a complete record of the Policyholder’s claims experience incurred under the Policy. This record will include all claims incurred for the lesser of: 1) the period of time since the Policy was issued or issued for delivery; or 2) the period of time since the Policy was last renewed, reissued or extended, if already issued. This record will be made available promptly to the Policyholder upon request made but not less than 30 days prior to the date upon which the premiums or contractual terms of the Policy may be amended. Nothing in this provision shall require the disclosure of personal or privileged information about an individual that is protected from disclosure under any applicable federal or state law or regulation.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Clerical Error. Clerical errors or delays in keeping records for the Policy will not deny insurance that would otherwise have been granted, nor extend insurance that otherwise would have ceased, and call for a fair adjustment of premium and benefits to correct the error.

Conformity to Law. Any provision of the Policy that is in conflict with the laws of the state in which it is issued is amended to conform with the laws of that state.

Entire Contract. The Policy, including any endorsements and riders, the Certificate, the Policyholder’s application, which is attached to the Policy when issued, the Insured’s individual enrollment form, if any, and the eligibility file, if any, are the entire contract between the parties. A copy of the Policy may be examined at the Office of the Policyholder during normal business hours. All statements made by the Policyholder or an Insured will, in the absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not warranties, and no such statement shall be used in defense to a claim hereunder unless it is contained in a written instrument signed by the Policyholder, the Insured, the Insured’s beneficiary or personal representative, a copy of which has been furnished to the Policyholder, the Insured, the Insured’s beneficiary or personal representative.

Amendments and Changes. No agent is authorized to alter or amend the Policy, or to waive any conditions or restrictions herein, or to extend the time for paying any premium. The Policy and the Certificate may be amended at any time by mutual agreement between the Policyholder and the Company without the consent of the Insured, but without prejudice to any loss incurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. No person except an Officer of the Company has authority on behalf of the Company to modify the Policy or to waive or lapse any of the Company’s rights or requirements.

Incontestability. After the Policy has been in force for two years, it can only be contested for nonpayment of premiums.

No statement made by an Insured Person can be used in a contest after the Insured Person’s insurance has been in force for two years during the Insured Person’s lifetime. No statement an Insured Person makes can be used in a contest unless it is in writing and signed by the Insured Person.

Insurance Data. The Policyholder must give the Company the names and ages of all individuals initially insured. The names of persons who later become eligible (whether or not the person becomes insured), and the names of those who cease to be eligible must also be given. The eligibility dates and any other necessary data must be given to the Company so that the premium can be determined.

The Company has the right to audit the Policyholder’s books and records as the books and records relate to this insurance.

The Company may authorize someone else to perform this audit. Any such inspection may be done at any reasonable time.

Workers’ Compensation. The Policy is not a Workers’ Compensation policy. The Policy does not satisfy any requirement for coverage by Workers’ Compensation Insurance.

Physical Examination and Autopsy. The Company, at the Company’s expense, has the right to have the Insured Person examined when and as often as is reasonably necessary while a claim is pending. At the Company’s expense, the

Company may request an autopsy unless prohibited by law.

AMENDMENT RIDER

For Virginia Residents Only

By attachment of this Rider, the Policy/Certificate is amended by the following:

Any provision of the Policy/Certificate that provides coverage for a Dependent child up to a certain age is amended to cover such child to age 26, regardless of financial dependency, residency, student status, or marital status.

Coverage for a Dependent child who is enrolled as a full-time student and is unable, due to a medical condition, to continue as a full-time student will continue: a) for a period of 12 months from the date the child ceases to be a full-time student; or b) the date the child no longer qualifies as a Dependent, whichever occurs first, provided the child’s treating Physician certifies to the Company at the time the child withdraws as a full-time student that the child’s absence is Medically Necessary. A child’s status as a full-time student will be determined in accordance with the criteria specified by the institution in which the child is enrolled. “Medically Necessary” means the Dependent child’s attending Physician has certified in writing that the Dependent child is unable to attend school on a full-time basis due to an injury or sickness.

This Rider takes effect on the effective date of the Policy/Certificate to which it is attached. This Rider terminates concurrently with the Policy/Certificate to which it is attached. It is subject to all the definitions, limitations, exclusions and conditions of the Policy/Certificate except as stated.

Please read the Policy carefully.

PREMIUMS

Premiums are payable in advance by the Policyholder. The first premium is due on the effective date of the Policy.

Subsequent premiums are due on the first day of each calendar month thereafter.

The required premium due on each premium due date is the sum of the premiums for all Insureds and their Dependents covered under the Policy. The premiums due will be determined by applying the premium rates then in effect for each plan provided by the Policy to the number of Insured Persons. All premiums are payable to the Company at the

Company’s home office or to any of the Company’s authorized agents.

The premium due may be adjusted due to a change in insurance as requested by the Policyholder or as required by the

Company as follows:

1. if an amount of insurance is added or increased during a calendar month, premiums will be increased as of the date the change becomes effective, unless otherwise mutually agreed;

2. if an amount of insurance is deleted or decreased during a calendar month, premium will cease or be decreased at the end of the calendar month in which the deletion or decrease occurred, unless otherwise mutually agreed;

3. if the Policyholder’s contribution percentage is changed, premium will be adjusted at the end of the calendar month in which the change occurred, unless otherwise mutually agreed; or

4. if the number of eligible employees increases or decreases by more than 10% premium will be adjusted at the end of the calendar month in which the increase or decrease occurred, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

If premiums are due the Company, or premium refunds are due the Policyholder as a result of clerical error or delay in the reporting of dates and/or data to the Company, all premiums or refunds will be calculated at the current rate of premium payment and are limited to a maximum period of three months.

Premium Rate Change. The Company has the right to change the premium rate on any premium due date on or after the fourth Policy Anniversary Date. The Company will provide written notice at least 31 days before the date of change.

Grace Period. A grace period of 31 days will be allowed to the Policyholder for the payment of each premium due after the first premium. The Policy will remain in force during the grace period. If the required premium is not paid by the end of the 31-day period, the Policy will terminate. The Policyholder will be required to pay premium for the grace period.

The Company will mail a notice of termination due to nonpayment of the premium to the Policyholder not less than 15 days prior to the end of the grace period.

Return of Premium. The Company reserves the right to rescind the coverage for one or all Insureds due to misrepresentation or fraud on the Policyholder’s application or an Insured’s enrollment form, if such misrepresentation materially affected the acceptance of the risk.

If, on the date coverage is rescinded, no claims have been paid under the Policy, the Company will return all premiums paid for such coverage to the Policyholder.

If, on the date coverage is rescinded, claims have been paid under the Policy, the Company reserves the right to deduct an amount equal to the amount of such claims paid from the premiums to be returned to the Policyholder.

TERMINATION OF POLICY

The Policyholder or the Company may terminate or cancel the Policy on the earliest of the following:

1. on any date on or after the fourth Policy Anniversary Date. Written notice must be provided to the other party at least

31 days prior to termination;

2. the date the number or percentage of persons covered under the Policy does not meet the minimum participation requirements of 10;

3. the date the required premium has not been paid, except as provided in the Grace Period provision; or

4. the date 100% of the eligible employees are not covered when a contribution is not required by the employee.

The Policyholder is responsible for notifying the Insured of the termination of the Policy.
