• that benefit would produce the same resolution of the diagnosed problem within professionally acceptable limits,
we may use the less expensive alternate benefit to determine the amount payable under this policy. If an alternate benefit is applied, the insured may be responsible for any remaining allowable amount after benefits are paid by the plan.
