Can direct payment to a doctor or health care facility be arranged?
Some medical providers will accept payments from insurance however the standard procedure with travel insurance is for you to simply go to any doctor of your choice, obtain any prescription medication needed, pay the doctor, and then submit a claim for reimbursement. The customary procedure is thus to pay first and then submit a claim for reimbursement. On Call International is available to provide recommendations for doctors, hospitals, and health care facilities around the world so we recommend that you contact them before seeing a doctor if possible. In some cases On Call International can arrange for a direct payment for a scheduled visit to a doctor. If you would like to inquire if this is possible, you must contact On Call International before seeing the doctor. You must call On Call International before being admitted to a hospital for scheduled surgery unless it is a medical emergency and a call is not possible. The On Call International emergency medical team is available 24/7
