If a person travels internationally, how are claims handled for medical expenses incurred in another country?
A. The employee pays the bill at the time he/she receives services, and then submits the bill for direct reimbursement in accordance with appropriate deductibles/co-pays. Deductibles/copays will be in accordance with the coverage level the employee has chosen during enrollment. (Note: This direct reimbursement is required outside the U.S. since foreign health care providers don’t have U.S. identification numbers for processing claims. In case of major or extensive emergency services needed outside the country (involving greater expense than a person could be expected to cover), contact Jill Knack in Findlay to make special arrangements.
