CALENDER YEARS VS. ROLLING CALENDAR YEARS

A calendar year is from January to December and a rolling calendar year is one year from the date a purchase was made. For example, paramedical services such as a chiropractor or registered massage therapist are covered to a maximum of $500 per practitioner per calendar year. Alternatively, vision coverage is for services and supplies to a combined limit of $450 every 24 months from the date of your first purchase. So if you bought glasses on February 26, 2010, you would be eligible to buy glasses again on February 26, 2012 - 24 months from the date you initially purchased your glasses.
