PREMIUM INFORMATION BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee can only raise your premium if we raise the premium for all policies like yours in the state of Tennessee. Your premium rate is based on your age as of June 1 each year, and it increases annually as you move into the next age category. If you are not yet 65 but will be on your initial effective date, your premium rate will be the age 65 rate. If you are over 65 and enrolling or changing plans, your premium rate is based on your age as of June 1 on or before your initial effective date. Your rate will increase by 10% if you move outside the state of Tennessee. Other than for age or moving out of the state, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee will only adjust your rate if rates are adjusted for all policies like yours. Any rate adjustment will be made at the same time for all BlueElite customers who have the same policy.

DISCLOSURES Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.

READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY This is only an outline describing your policy’s most important features. The policy is your insurance contract. You must read the policy itself to understand all the rights and duties of both you and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.

RIGHT TO RETURN POLICY If you find that you are not satisfied with your policy, you may return it to:

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee 1 Cameron Hill Circle Chattanooga, TN 37402

If you send the policy back to us within 30 days after you receive it, we will treat the policy as if it had never been issued and return all of your payments (less any benefits provided).

NOTICE This policy may not fully cover all of your medical costs. Neither BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee nor its agents are connected with Medicare. This outline of coverage does not give all the details of Medicare coverage. Contact your local Social Security office or consult the Medicare and You Handbook for more details.

COMPLETE ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT When you fill out the application for the new policy, be sure to answer truthfully and completely all questions about your medical and health history.
