Emergency Care Available To PML Employees
Emergency Care is Covered for Two Types of Problems:
Accidental InjuriesThese are physical injuries usually
coming from external sources and requiring prompt medical
attention. Broken bones, sprains, severe cuts, poisoning and
burns are examples of accidental injuries.
Medical Emergencies
These are illnesses or symptoms that could reasonably be expected to result in
serious physical impairment or loss of life if not treated immediately. Heart attack, stroke,
loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, severe breathing difficulty and convulsions are
examples.
If your condition is not an emergency but still requires prompt attention, it is best to call or
visit your physician. He or she can usually provide the care or direct you to an urgent care
facility.
If you have an immediate and unforeseen emergency and taking the time to call your
physician may mean permanent damage to your health, you should seek treatment first. Go
the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911. SERVICES INCURRED IN A HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY ROOM THAT ARE NOT ACCIDENTS OR LIFE THREATENING MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES ARE NOT COVERED.
