MEDICAL TRAVEL MANAGEMENT

If you require non-emergency medical care, including hospitalization and surgery, IMG offers medical travel as a means to manage the costs. Upon approval of medical travel, IMG will designate a case manager to work with you to coordinate related care prior to any treatment being rendered.

MEDICAL CONCIERGE SERVICE

The Medical Concierge Service is designed to provide information to patients in need of non-emergency medical procedures that will help them decide on a facility that provides high quality care in the most cost-effective setting. The procedure can be in-patient or out-patient, and as simple as an MRI or as complex as a transplant.

Deductible
Deductible

The dollar amount of eligible medical expenses, as outlined in your Policy Wording, that the insured person must pay per period of coverage prior to receiving benefits or coverage from the insurance company.
Hospital Indemnity
Hospital Indemnity

An amount paid directly to the insured person for each night of a required hospital stay (for a covered injury or illness). See your Policy Wording for amount paid per night and the maximum number of nights allowed.

You do not need to file a separate claim to qualify for an indemnity. The claims examiner will review the medical documents you submitted to determine your eligibility for an indemnity benefit payment.
Emergency Room Deductible
Emergency Room Deductible

An additional deductible will apply each time a person seeks treatment for an illness in an emergency room, which does not result in the person directly being admitted as a hospital inpatient. This deductible is in addition to the plan deductible.

When possible, for non-life-threatening illness, consider seeking treatment at a clinic or doctor’s office to avoid the potential cost of this additional deductible.

Paying for Treatment
Paying for Treatment

Many international hospitals do not have the ability to establish direct billing with an insurance company.

If a hospital or provider is unable to establish direct billing, then IMG will offer to send the provider a Guarantee of Payment (GOP) document. This document gives the provider an assurance that IMG will pay for services rendered.

If direct billing or a GOP cannot be established, you need to be prepared to pay for your treatment out-of-pocket. Because this is considered a personal expense, you need to have a credit card or way to access cash to pay for the bill. You can seek reimbursement later by filing a claim.

Carrying a credit card with a minimum of $1,000-1,500 to cover an unexpected injury or illness is recommended.

To learn more about paying for treatment, see Incident Checklist.
Continuation of Treatment Benefit
Continuation of Treatment Benefit

Check your Policy Wording to see if your insurance plan includes a “Benefit Period.”

If an illness or injury incurred on your trip requires continuing treatment once you return home, this benefit will continue your coverage for that specific illness or injury for a selected amount of time (i.e 6 months, 12 months) from the initial date of treatment.

IMPORTANT:

In order to be eligible for continuing coverage, you must seek treatment for the illness or injury during your trip, and have medical documents and a receipt for the treatment. The receipt or documentation needed to establish the continuation of treatment benefit must include:

    Your name
    Date of Service
    Diagnosis or reason for treatment


If you are seeking continuing treatment back home, be sure to check your ID Card for the network requirement. See Locate a Provider.

Present your IMG ID Card to the provider and let them know that your plan provides a benefit beyond the expiration date listed on your ID Card. If you have primary or domestic insurance in place, let the provider know that IMG is your secondary coverage. For further assistance in communicating with your provider, contact MissionSafe at service@missionsafe.com or at 800-682-3461.
