A medical emergency is the sudden, serious and unexpected onset of an acute illness or accident that is: (1) an immediate life or death condition; or (2) an illness, injury or severe pain that requires immediate medical attention, without which the person would be exposed to significant risk of serious illness, disability or death.

Seek emergency services if you believe that the absence of immediate medical attention could result in:

• serious jeopardy to the health of the insured
• serious jeopardy to the health of an unborn child
• serious impairment of a bodily function or
• serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part

Bleeding, chest pains, poisonings, loss of consciousness or shortness of breath are examples of "medical emergencies." If you find yourself in an emergency situation, immediately call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
