 follows:
   7.  "Covered  health care services" means: the services of physicians,
 optometrists, nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives  and  other  related
 professional  personnel  which  are  provided  on  an  outpatient basis,
 including routine well-child visits; diagnosis and treatment of  illness
 and injury; inpatient health care services; laboratory tests; diagnostic
 x-rays;  prescription  and  non-prescription  drugs, OSTOMY SUPPLIES and
 durable medical equipment; radiation therapy;  chemotherapy;  hemodialy-
 sis;  outpatient blood clotting factor products and other treatments and
 services furnished in connection with the care of hemophilia  and  other
