Regarding claims
A couple of important notes:
- For smaller claims, here is how it typically works outside of the U.S. and Canada. You will pay out of pocket for the medical expenses and submit the claim with all receipts and records. You will then be reimbursed for all eligible expenses after the deductible has been met. (the deductible must be recorded via claim form, even if the claim doesn’t surpass the deductible)
- For larger emergencies such as, surgeries or medical evacuations, the insurance company must be contacted prior to treatment or evacuation. This is one of the reasons that there are the emergency phone numbers on the back of the insurance ID cards.
Acute Onset of Pre-Existing Conditions
An acute onset of a pre-existing condition is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing condition which occurs spontaneously and without advance warning either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms. Treatment must be obtained within 24 hours of the sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence. Chronic and congenital conditions are excluded from coverage.
Atlas MultiTrip provides a limited benefit up to the medical coverage lifetime maximum for eligible medical expenses.
If you are younger than 70, you may be covered for an acute onset of a pre-existing condition.
This also includes up to a $25,000 lifetime maximum for emergency medical evacuation.
