The plan covers most personal legal services. The following matters are excluded from coverage:

• Matters against ARAG, the policyholder or an insured against the interests of the named insured under the same Certificate.
• Legal services arising out of a business interest, investment interests, employment matters, employee benefits, your role as an officer or director of an organization, and patents or copyrights.
• Legal services in class actions, post judgments, punitive damages, malpractice, appeals, small claims court or equivalent court in your state.
• Legal services deemed by ARAG to be frivolous or lacking merit, or in actions where you are the plaintiff and the amount we pay for your legal services exceeds the amount in dispute, or in our reasonable belief you are not actively and reasonably pursuing resolution in your case.

Pre-existing matters: If you have already hired the services of an attorney, a legal action has been filed or any actual or alleged violations of either party's rights has occurred, you are not eligible for paid-in-full coverage. However, as a plan member, you are eligible to receive telephone legal advice for non-excluded matters from a network attorney as well as reduced fee benefits for in-office legal services of at least 25 percent off their normal rate.

You have access to a network of more than 15,000 network attorneys across the U.S. who:

• Are individually selected to help provide members a professional, positive experience.
• Average more than 20 years of experience practicing law.
• Can meet a wide range of legal needs.
• Are re-credentialed annually to maintain ARAG’s standards.
• Must fulfill specific criteria to maintain their status in the network.

 

You also have the flexibility to use a non-network attorney and get reimbursed for covered services according to the indemnity benefits under your legal plan. If you have difficulty connecting with a network attorney, contact ARAG for help to receive full plan benefits on covered matters.

As a member, you have the choice to see a network or non-network attorney; however most members use a network attorney for their legal matter. If you choose to work with a non-network attorney, you will be billed directly by them. You will then be required to provide ARAG with appropriate documentation—including an ARAG non-network attorney claim form—to be reimbursed for covered legal services under your indemnity benefits. Reimbursement will then be made to you according to the indemnity amount, which is listed in your group policy. Contact ARAG Customer Care to request a non-network attorney claim form.

No. ARAG provides legal protection for personal legal matters and does not provide services for business-related legal matters or any matter involving your employer. Please see the plan certificate for specific exclusions and additional information.

If members leave employment, they have the option of enrolling in an ARAG conversion plan that offers similar benefits and arrange to pay premiums to ARAG directly for coverage. Contact ARAG at 1-800-247-4184 for details.
