This Policy shall only pay pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Policy and no other policy.
We will pay Our share of the Usual and Customary amount, reduced by the payment of any other insurance plan.

Residents of South Carolina who hold life insurance, annuities, or health insurance policies should know that the insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) licensed in this state to write these types of insurance are required by law to be members of the South Carolina Life and Accident and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (SCLAHIGA). The purpose of SCLAHIGA is to assure that policyholders will be protected, within limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its obligations. If this happens, SC LAH I GA will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay the claims of insured persons who live in this state and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. However, the valuable extra protection provided by these insurers through SCLAHIGA is limited. Consumers should shop around for insurance coverage and exercise care and diligence when selecting insurance coverage.Summary of the South Carolina Life and Accident and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act and Notice Concerning Coverage Limitations and Exclusions

Coverage is generally conditioned upon residence in this state. Other conditions that may preclude or exclude coverage are described in this notice. Even if coverage is provided, there are significant limits and exclusions. Please read the entire notice for further details on limitations and exclusions.
