SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION -

OVERPAYMENTS

 

If you (or your dependent or beneficiary) are overpaid for a claim, you (or your dependent or beneficiary) must return the overpayment to the Fund. The Fund has the right to recover any payments made that were based on false or fraudulent information, as well as any payments made in error. Amounts recovered may include interest and costs. If repayment is not made, the Fund may deduct the overpayment amount from any future benefits from this Fund that you or your dependent or beneficiary would otherwise receive.


If payment is made on your (or a dependent’s or beneficiary’s) behalf to a hospital, doctor or other provider of health care and that payment is found to be an overpayment, the Fund will request a refund of the overpayment from the provider. If the refund is not received, the amount of the overpayment will be deducted from future benefits payable to the provider, or a lawsuit may be initiated to recover the overpayment to whom or on whose behalf it was made.
