Review Your Policy

Review Policy Document

It’s important to understand what you are and are not covered for, especially before embarking on your trip. Review your policy early on to ensure that there are no surprises throughout your claims process

 Don’t delay

This might sound obvious, but the sooner you file your claim (along with all required documents), the sooner we can start your claims process. We begin working through your claim once we receive fully completed and signed claim forms, so the earlier those are sent in, the better. For medical claims, a good rule of thumb is to submit your claim within 60 days from the day you were treated.

Keep your documents

Hold on to important documents so that you have them handy when it’s time to submit your claim. Make sure you provide all itemized bills and receipts, including:

• Your full name
• Date(s) of service
• Amount charged
• Type of service/diagnosis
• Complete medical records for the condition(s) claimed while travelling
• Prescriptions with the itemized pharmacy-issued prescription receipt, not the till or credit card receipt
