We will pay this benefit for Covered Expenses up to the Maximum Benefit shown on the Certificate Schedule and subject to any limits shown below. Covered Expenses must be incurred by an Insured Person for an Injury or Illness on a Covered Trip, provided initial treatment was received during a Covered Trip. The first expense must be incurred within forty-eight (48) hours of the date of the onset of the Injury or Illness, or, if the Pre-Existing Condition Limitation is waived, the Injury or Illness must re-occur while the Insured Person is covered for Injury or Illness. Except as may be indicated elsewhere in the Certificate, this coverage is secondary to any Other Plan the Insured Person may have. Coverage continues until the Insured’s Covered Trip ends.

“Covered Expenses” means the Necessary and Reasonable Expenses for medical, surgical and Emergency dental services, treatments and supplies incurred during a Covered Trip. Covered Expenses also includes professional nursing, Hospital charges, X-ray, and ambulance services.
