Travel - Overseas Claims Management

How can you simplify overseas claims management? Rely on a company with international claims expertise

Just as medical systems are different abroad, foreign medical claims are truly foreign. Amounts are given and must be paid in local currency, information may not be in English, and the UCR format varies by country. The best way to keep these claims from being a drain on your resources is to rely on the claims management expertise of Europ Assistance USA (EA).

EA's overseas claims management capability can help your plan contain costs, prevent fraud, and increase internal productivity. EA's international network of Agents can assist with admittance to facilities. Their knowledge of medical care costs abroad ensures that your members are not overcharged for services. Your current claims management department can increase its productivity by focusing its resources on only domestic claims.

Advantages of EA's Overseas Claims Management

The EA Network - On Location Everywhere: EA's Sister Companies and Agents throughout the world pay claims based on EA's instructions; an advantage for the member, provider, and your plan due to possible discounts thanks to Preferred Provider relationships internationally.

Advance of Funds and Direct Payments: For any eligible insured member, EA can advance funds up to the limit allowed by the plan. EA's claims management system is designed to make direct payments to providers in almost all countries of the world. If necessary, EA can involve its Agents to make payments on the spot if required by a local facility, meaning no out-of-pocket expenses for the member.

Cost Containment:

EA has the unique ability to maintain a tight reign on medical costs. Based on 40 years of business in the assistance industry, EA's worldwide network permits negotiation and discounts at selected facilities.
