Am I covered for surgery expenses? Yes. Your Policy pays you for every type of operation, in or out of the hospitaL from $5.00 to $200.00. (Example: $5.00 for removal of a toenail; $100.00 for removal of cataract by lens extraction; $200.00 for perineal prostate removal.) How often can I receive benefits? You receive benefits every time you are in the hospital for a different cause even if confinements are just a few days apart. You can even collect benefits for the same cause over and over provided six months have elapsed between each confinement.

Am I covered if I am ill right now? Yes, if you have not been medically treated or advised for that particular illness. What If I have been treated? You will still receive benefits when hospital confinement begins or surgery is performed after the Policy has been in effect sir months. Who stands behind this Policy? Fireman's Fund Insurance Company and its affiliates are backed by assets exceeding $500,000,000. Founded in the West, The Fund has stood side-by-side with the people of the West since 1863. The Company's performance in disasters such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire and its consistent interest in the needs of the insurance buying public, has brought continued growth and recognition.

What does this insurance cost? $6.50 a month. The cost is low because the FUND65 PLAN works like "group" insurance. All applications and premium payments are processed electronically, thereby cutting adrninistrative costs. Can I collect on other policies, too? Certainly. You receive benefits from your FUND65 PLAN Policy in addition to any other policies you might have.

The only restriction is one FUND65 PLAN Policy per person. Who is eligible for this protection? Any resident of the Western States shown below is welcome regardless of his or her past or present condition of health provided he or she is 65 or over on March 12, 1959. Are medical examinations required? Absolutely not No medical exams are required, and you need not answer any health questions whatsoever. When does protection begin? March 12, 1959 and from that date on as long as you pay your monthly premium. Can the Company cancel my Policy? The Company cannot cancel your Policy, change the benefits, or raise premium rates unless it does so on all FUND65 PLAN Policies in your state.

You, of course, may terminate on any monthly premium date. What coverage do I get? The FUND65 PLAN covers you for all kinds of injuries or illnesses, except those caused by war or covered by any Workmen's Compensation or Occupational Disease Law, provided hospitalization or surgery is required. Am I covered for hospital room and board? You are up to $10.00 a day for as long as 31 days for each hospital confinement anywhere in the world. Not covered is confinement in U.S. Veterans Administration hospitals or any institution owned or operated by the Federal Government, clinics, and institutions operated primarily as nursing, rest or convalescent homes; or those established for treatment of alcoholics or narcotic addicts.

Who pays for X-rays, tests, medicines? Your Policy pays you up to $100.00 allowance each time you are in the hospital as a result of a new accident or illness.
