Totally Disabled means, as determined by the Plan in its sole discretion:

• That an Employee is prevented from engaging in any job or occupation for wage or profit for which the Employee is qualified by education, training, or experience; or • That a covered Dependent has been diagnosed with a physical, psychiatric, or developmental disorder, or some combination thereof, and as a result cannot engage in Activities of Daily Living and/or substantial gainful activities that a person of like age and sex in good health can perform, preventing an individual from attaining self-sufficiency. Diagnosis of one or more of the following conditions is not considered proof of total disability. Conditions are listed in the most recent American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) or the most recent revision of the International Classification of Diseases - Clinical Modification manual (ICD CM) in the following categories: Urgent Care means the delivery of ambulatory care in a facility dedicated to the delivery of care outside of a Hospital Emergency department, usually on an unscheduled, walk-in basis. Urgent Care centers are primarily used to treat patients who have Injuries or Illnesses that require immediate care but are not serious enough to warrant a visit to an Emergency room. Often Urgent Care centers are not open on a continuous basis, unlike a Hospital Emergency room that would be open at all times. Usual and Customary means the amount the Plan determines to be the reasonable charge for comparable services, treatment, or materials in a Geographical Area. In determining whether charges are Usual and Customary, due consideration will be given to the nature and severity of the condition being treated and any medical complications or unusual or extenuating circumstances. Geographical Area means a zip code area, or a greater area if the Plan determines it is needed to find an appropriate cross-section of accurate data.
