Lacunes d'extraction

  • Risk carrier: the document does not use a phrase of the type "underwritten by". Foyer Global Health S.A., 12, rue Léon Laval, L-3372 Leudelange, Luxembourg, R.C.S. Luxembourg B 134.471, is named on p. 2 as the entity for which "the supervisory authority ... can be contacted" at the Commissariat aux Assurances, is the sender of the document, is the party addressed as "we/us" throughout ("Insurance cover is granted ... If an insured event occurs, we will reimburse the expenses", No. 2.1), and is named again as the operator of the website through which contractual information is served (No. 10.2). On that basis it is recorded as the carrier. "Globality Health", "Globality YouGenio®" and "Globality Health service centre" are brand and service names, not a second carrier. The separately defined "assisteur" (p. 38), through which additional services and the reimbursement of e.g. return transport costs are provided, is not named anywhere in the document.
  • edition_date left null: the document prints no element labelled as an edition or version date. The only date-like token is the footer code "YG GER GCI 13.02/5" on p. 43, recorded as reference; the document nowhere states that "13.02" is an edition date. The source file name contains "0224", a string that is not printed anywhere inside the document and was therefore not used.
  • Scope of benefits tables (Nos. 4.3 to 4.7, pp. 9-15): plan-level membership is NOT in the text layer. The marks are vector drawings - a 12.9 x 12.9 pt circle with a 7.2 x 5.6 pt tick in dark green for "Insured, i.e. we will reimburse 100 % of the eligible expenses" and a 9.3 x 9.3 pt grey cross for "Reimbursement is excluded from the scope of benefits" (legend, p. 2). Each mark was assigned to a column by its x-centre against the header centres (Classic 318.9 / Plus 415.3 / Top 511.7 pt, column width 96.4 pt) and to a row by the row rules (width 233.9 pt). The arithmetic closes on every page: p. 9 13 rows x 3 = 39 cells = 35 ticks + 4 crosses; p. 10 11 x 3 = 33 = 23 + 10; p. 11 10 x 3 = 30 = 23 + 7; p. 12 9 x 3 = 27 = 22 + 5; p. 13 15 benefit rows x 3 = 45 = 35 + 10 (the 16th band is the unmarked heading "Basic dental services"); p. 14 8 x 3 = 24 = 24 + 0; p. 15 8 x 3 = 24 = 12 + 12. These facts are recorded in the structured fields only; being drawings and not text they cannot be supported by a verbatim quote.
  • Column-order check performed on every table page rather than assumed: cell texts were assigned by the x-centre of each text line, and no line crosses a column boundary. The reading is confirmed by the internal logic of the amounts (Classic <= Plus <= Top) and by the printed footnote markers.
  • is_optional: the plan is sold in three plan levels rather than with optional add-ons. is_optional is false where a benefit carries a tick in Classic, Plus AND Top, and null where at least one plan level carries the cross, because a boolean cannot express "insured in Plus and Top only"; the exact plan-level membership is the first entry of each coverage's conditions. The genuinely optional elements are the deductible (No. 4.2) and the inclusion of existing medical conditions at application / the moratorium (Nos. 1.2 and 1.3), flagged is_optional true.
  • Row "Major dental services" (p. 13): the Classic column carries the cross ("Reimbursement is excluded from the scope of benefits") and, at the same time, the note "Reimbursement for the outlined below benefits only if needed as a result of an accident". Both are printed side by side and are reproduced as they stand.
  • prescription_period is null: this document contains no clause setting a time limit for bringing claims. (Section 7 covers what must be done when an insured event occurs, but states no limitation period.)
  • No language clause: this document contains no section stating which language version prevails - its General information chapter ends at 10.7 Applicable law. Nothing has been imported from any other language or sibling document to fill that gap.
  • Typographical oddities preserved as printed: "Accomodation in a private or semi-private room" (heading, p. 16), "Clearinhouse" (exclusion on experimental treatments), "To process of reimbursements all original documents should be submitted" (7.3 b), "you will have notify us" (10.4 b), "Optaining intercultural training" (heading, p. 25), "your relevant Globalite" (Online services, p. 24), "It attemps at offering" (definition of Hospice), "surgery involing large bones" (definition of Follow-up rehabilitation), "spinal chord" (definition of Osteopathy), "The insured person are the contractual partner" (7.6 b). These are the insurer's own text and have not been corrected.
  • Page numbers in every block are PDF page numbers; on this document the printed folio matches the PDF page number (checked against pages 9-15 and 38-42).
  • The document has two separate glossaries - No. 11 "Definitions" (pp. 38-40) and No. 12 "Medical definitions" (pp. 41-42). Both are transcribed into definitions[], each entry carrying the page on which it is printed.
