Chapter 1

1. Contact assistance as soon as circumstances allow

Use the insurer or assistance number printed in the policy and identify the insured person, policy number, location, symptoms, and contact details. In a life-threatening emergency, call the local emergency service first and notify the insurer as soon as possible.

02
Chapter 2

2. Keep the complete document trail

Keep the medical report, diagnosis, prescription, referral, itemised invoice, payment receipt, passport copy, policy, and correspondence with assistance. Ask the clinic for readable documents showing the patient, service date, and treatment.

03
Chapter 3

3. Confirm direct billing or reimbursement

Depending on the policy and case, the insurer may arrange care directly or ask you to pay and request reimbursement. Do not assume every service is covered: limits, exclusions, deductibles, notification deadlines, and approval rules are defined by the issued policy.

04
Chapter 4

4. Submit and follow up

Submit the requested documents through the channel specified by the insurer and keep the case number. If anything is missing, ask for the exact missing item in writing. The insurer makes the coverage and payment decision under the policy terms.
