Before you seek medical attention
During a Non-Urgent Medical Emergency
Contact our assistance specialists BEFORE seeking medical attention: This course of action should be taken whenever possible. If you require medical attention in a non-urgent situation, for example, if you are feeling unwell and want to see a doctor, contact our assistance specialists before seeking medical attention using the emergency contact number that is provided to you. They will assess your situation and coverage under your policy, direct you to an approved local medical facility and likely co-ordinate billing with that medical facility so you don't have to pay for treatment on your own and wait to be reimbursed when you submit a claim later.
During an Urgent Medical Emergency
Call 911 or seek medical treatment immediately!: If you are experiencing a medical emergency that requires immediate attention such as a heart attack, stroke, serious car accident injuries, etc..., you should seek immediate medical attention and contact our assistance specialists as soon as you or someone who is with you is able so that they can confirm your coverage, co-ordinate your care and if possible, your billing as well.
Important Tip:
Whenever possible, make sure you keep all of your receipts and get copies of your treatment records and medical notes at the time you receive treatment.
You may be required to submit these documents to process your claim and they can be very difficult to collect after the fact. If you don't have these documents, it may cause delays in your claim being processed, and in some cases can result in the denial of your claim.
