Retiree Health Summary Plan Description
As of January 1, 2026
8.2 Third-Party Liability Rule
Third-party liability refers to expenses for an injury or illness
caused by another person (called a third party) for which that person is
liable or legally responsible to pay.
Medical services are provided if you and your Spouse are injured
through the actions of a third party, such as an automobile
accident.
If you collect any amount from the third party or his or her
insurance company, the medical benefit provider is entitled to obtain
reimbursement from you for the value of all hospital and medical
services provided by them for the care of your injury. The amount
collected from you will never be more than the amount you collect from
the other person or the insurance company.
If you have any questions regarding third-party liability, contact
the applicable medical benefit provider for details.
