Hello,
I recently bought insurance a couple months ago with this company. However now I’m traveling to another destination that I did not select initially.
I am traveling to Tunisia and I’m wondering if my insurance can extend to this country.
The plan that I purchased is Travel Medical Choice from Seven Corners.
Thank you for your help.
Thanks You
LaurenTravel Medical USA Visitor Choice
Hello,
The Travel Medical Basic will pay the hospital directly or I have to pay and then they will refund me
Thanks You
MonicaThank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your US visitor medical Insurance needs!
All policies work in the same way. After your purchase you will recieve documentation including an ID card which you should carry with you on your trip. Should you need to use the insurance, you can show your ID card and/or use it to fill out the forms given to you by the doctor/hospital. Ideally, they will then call the insurance company to arrange payment with them. You will still owe them your deductible and coinsurance (which is either 25% for plan A with no cap -- note we do not recommend this plan, or 20% of the first $5000 in medical expenses) which you pay to them directly.
They may say "We don't take your insurance" which really means, they do not want to be bothered to call and arrange payment for you, so in that case (more likely at a doctor's office) you will have to pay up front and submit a claim to the insurance company to get the money back that was overpaid.
This will be the case for all policies and no one can promise they will arrange direct payment since this is up to them only. If you use the Travel Medical Basic Insurance PPO network, direct payment should be more likely, but we have had clients in the network and the provider refused to make the call.As mentioned, this is more likely at a doctor's office and not at a hospital where the bill will be much higher.
Travel Medical Basic
Travel Medical Basic and Travel Medical Choice are available for 364 days.
This the maximum coverage that the plan would offer for the medical expenses.
