Important Information

Please read the “Important Information” section. Then answer questions 1 through 5 on page 2 and 3.

(a) You do not need more than one Medicare supplemental insurance policy.

(b) If you purchase this Policy, you may want to evaluate your existing health coverage and decide if you need multiple
coverage.

(c) You may be eligible for Medicaid benefits and may not need a Medicare supplemental insurance policy.

(d) The benefits and premiums under your Medicare supplemental insurance policy can be suspended, if requested, during
your entitlement to benefits under Medicaid for 24 months. You must request this suspension within 90 days of becoming
eligible for Medicaid. If you are no longer entitled to Medicaid, your Policy will be reinstituted if requested within 90 days
of losing Medicaid eligibility.

If the Medicare supplemental insurance policy provided coverage for outpatient prescription drugs and you enrolled
in Medicare Part D while your policy was suspended, the reinstituted policy will not have outpatient prescription drug
coverage, as you will be enrolled in the most comparable plan without outpatient prescription drug coverage.

(e) If you are eligible for, and have enrolled in a Medicare supplemental insurance policy by reason of disability and you later
become covered by an employer or union-based group health plan, the benefits and premiums under your Medicare
supplemental insurance policy can be suspended, if requested, while you are covered under the employer or union-based
group health plan. If you suspend your Medicare supplemental insurance policy under these circumstances, and later lose
your employer or union-based group health plan, your suspended Medicare supplemental insurance policy (or, if that is no
longer available, a substantially equivalent policy) will be reinstituted if requested within 90 days of losing your employer or
union-based group health plan.

If the Medicare supplemental insurance policy provided coverage for outpatient prescription drugs and you enrolled
in Medicare Part D while your policy was suspended, the reinstituted policy will not have outpatient prescription drug
coverage, as you will be enrolled in the most comparable plan without outpatient prescription drug coverage.

(f) Counseling services are available in Massachusetts to provide advice concerning your purchase of Medicare supplemental
Insurance policy and concerning medical assistance through the state Medicaid program, including benefits as a Qualified
Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) and a Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB). You may call the Massachusetts
Executive Office of Elder Affairs insurance counseling program at 1-800-243-4636 (TTY: 1-800-872-0166) or write to that
office at the following address for more information: One Ashburton Place, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02108.

If you lost or are losing other health insurance coverage and received a notice from your prior insurer saying you were eligible for
guaranteed issue of a Medicare supplemental insurance policy, or that you had certain rights to buy such a policy, you may be
guaranteed acceptance in one or more of our Medicare supplemental plans. Please include a copy of the notice from your prior
