    Consultation with Duke ALS Clinic

    I misspoken, it is called Fixed Benefits. The plan I was interested actually doesn’t say “acute onset of existing condition”, maybe I saw it in some other plans. Fixed benefits plans are have specific benefit limits for different covered medical expenses. These benefit limits are not the same...
