However, Federal law generally does not prohibit the mother%u2019s or newborn%u2019s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under Federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). If you would like more information on maternity benefits, call your medical carrier at the phone number listed on the back of your ID card.MICHELLE%u2019S LAW NOTICEExtended Dependent Medical Coverage During Student Medical LeavesThe Atlantic Union Bank plan may extend medical coverage for dependent children if they lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from a post-secondary educational institution (including a college or university). Coverage may continue for up to a year, unless the child%u2019s eligibility would end earlier for another reason.Extended coverage is available if a child%u2019s leave of absence from school %u2014 or change in school enrollment status (for example, switching from full-time to part-time status) %u2014 starts while the child has a serious illness or injury, is medically necessary, and otherwise causes eligibility for student coverage under the plan to end. Written certification from the child%u2019s physician stating that the child suffers from a serious illness or injury and the leave of absence is medically necessary may be required.If the coverage provided by the plan is changed during this one-year period, the plan will provide the changed coverage for the remainder of the leave of absence.If your child will lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school and you want his or her coverage to be extended, call Aptia365 at 855-200-3075 as soon as the need for the leave is recognized by Atlantic Union Bank. In addition, contact your child%u2019s health plan to see if any state laws requiring extended coverage may apply to his or her benefits.
