Getting treatment in the US
When receiving treatment in the US, simply show your membership card to the medical provider and make sure to check if the provider has your most up to date policy details on their file. The provider will contact us to sort any paperwork related to your treatment. Make sure you attend a network provider, where we can pay your medical bills directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know you might want more information about international health insurance, so we've put together a list of our most commonly-asked questions right here.
What is the difference between in-patient and out-patient cover?
In-patient cover relates to all treatment which occurs when a member is an "in-patient" (staying overnight/for a period of time) in the hospital. Out-patient claims (such as doctor visits, buying prescription drugs) would only be covered if an out-patient plan was bought together with the in-patient one. We have a range of different levels of cover for both in-patient and out-patient treatment.
Am I covered for pre-existing conditions?
Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions (including pre-existing chronic conditions) depends on the medical underwriting terms you accepted.
- For policies which were fully medically underwritten, pre-existing conditions are generally covered unless we say otherwise in your policy documents.
- For policies with moratorium, pre-existing conditions are only eligible for coverage once you’ve completed a continuous 24-month period after your start date and have not had symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition during that time.
For further information, please contact our Sales Team.
What is a co-payment?
Co-payment is the percentage of the costs which you must pay. E.g. if a benefit has an 80% refund, this means that a co-payment of 20% applies, therefore we will pay 80% of the costs of each eligible treatment per insured person, per Insurance year. In the US this is known as co-insurance.
What is a deductible?
Deductible also referred to as ‘excess’ in health insurance, is the part of the cost that is payable by you and that we deduct from the amount we will pay. Where deductibles apply, they are payable per person per Insurance year, unless your Table of Benefits states otherwise. In the US this is known as co-pay.
What is a urgent care centre?
An Urgent Care Center is a walk-in clinic where you can see a Primary Care Doctor without an appointment. Urgent Care Centers are convenient because they are usually open early in the morning until late in the evening, and often on weekends. Urgent Care Centers may also be equipped to perform X-rays and/or CT scans. Please note that specialists (cardiologist, ENT, GI, etc.) are not available through Urgent Care Centers.
I received a new insurance card. What should I do?
If you have recently changed insurer or received an updated healthcare card from us, please ensure that you update your medical provider upon your next visit, advising them of your new insurance details. The details needed would include your Aetna ID number located on the front of your card and the Payor ID which can be found on the back. This will prevent you from receiving medical bills as the provider will send them directly to us.
How do I know if my treatment requires pre-approval? And how do I get it?
First, check if your plan covers the treatment you are seeking. The treatments that requires pre-approval are usually indicated with the numbers 1 and 2 in your Table of benefits. You can access your Table of Benefits via MyHealth Digital Services. Simply login via browser or use the MyHealth app and click on “My Benefits”.
If your treatment requires pre-approval , simply show your Membership card to your medical provider. You will be asked to sign a document authorizing the release of your medical details. Your medical provider will then automatically start the pre-approval process directly with us.
The pre-approval process helps us assess each case, organise everything with the hospital before your arrival and make direct payment of your hospital bill easier, where possible.
